## Resource

At the time of Jesus, the pool of Bethesda was known as a place for invalids to gather, hoping to be healed by the supposed supernatural powers of the water. Here, Jesus finds a man who was lame for 38 years, and seemingly without hope. Out of the large crowd, Jesus seeks him out. Will Jesus answer the man’s plea to be taken to the water? And why does Jesus choose this man, who lacks all hope and faith? Tune in to find out. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- DONATE: https://evidence4faith.org/give/ WEBSITE: https://evidence4faith.org/ NEWSLETTER: http://eepurl.com/hpazV5 BOOKINGS: https://evidence4faith.org/bookings/ CONTACT: Evidence 4 Faith, 349 Knights Ave Kewaskum WI 53040 , info@evidence4faith.org My goal is that their hearts, having been knit together in love, may be encouraged, and that they may have all the riches that assurance brings in their understanding of the knowledge of the mystery of God, namely, Christ, in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. - Colossians 2:2-3 CREDITS: Developed & Hosted by Michael Lane.
