DO YOU WANT TO GET WELL?
THE COUNSELOR – PART 1
November 20, 2016
JOHN 5:1-9
After this there was a feast of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
Now there is in Jerusalem by the Sheep Gate a pool, which is called in
Hebrew, Bethesda, having five porches. In these lay a great multitude of
sick people, blind, lame, paralyzed, waiting for the moving of the water.
For an angel went down at a certain time into the pool and stirred up the
water; then whoever stepped in first, after the stirring of the water, was
made well of whatever disease he had. Now a certain man was there who
had an infirmity thirty-eight years. When Jesus saw him lying there, and
knew that he already had been in that condition a long time, He said to
him, "Do you want to be made well?" The sick man answered Him, "Sir, I
have no man to put me into the pool when the water is stirred up; but while
I am coming, another steps down before me." Jesus said to him, "Rise,
take up your bed and walk." And immediately the man was made well,
took up his bed, and walked. And that day was the Sabbath.
THE LONGER A PROBLEM PERSISTS:
•
The more __________ you become.
•
The more __________ you make.
•
The more you learn to ____________ your issue.
“You cannot ____________ what you are willing to tolerate.”
“You cannot be ____________ if you don’t want help!”
“Until your ____________ becomes bigger than your
____________, you will not start to find healing.”
JESUS, OUR WONDERFUL COUNSELOR
(Isaiah 9:6) For unto us a Child is born, Unto us a Son is given; And the
government will be upon His shoulder. And His name will be called
Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
(NIV)
(Luke 2:46) Now so it was that after three days they found Him in the
temple, sitting in the midst of the teachers, both listening to them and
asking them questions.
