A message from the series “Conversations With Jesus.” Jesus’ healing of the lame man by the pool of Bethesda was significant, not the least of which is because it’s one of the first times in John’s Gospel that He states unequivocally that He is equal with God.
It’s a theme that He would repeat throughout the entire book, and a theme that John would emphasize. It’s worth considering for our own lives as well.

CloseBe honest: Does it really feel like Jesus' yoke is "easy" and His burden "light" (Matthew 11:28-30)? Some of the time, it feels quite the opposite. Even if there is plenty of hope and grace, God's plan of salvation is fraught with temptations, and difficulties. It makes it hard for us to really "be excited" about living a life filled with so many challenges. And yet, 1 John 5:3 says that true obedience is when following His commandments are "not burdensome." How are we supposed to do that? How do we get to a point where His commandments are not only "not burdensome," but a delight for us to perform? Answer: Full and total commitment to His Word.
