Here, we chronicle the lame man at the Pool of Bethesda in John 5 who had lain helpless for 38 years, hoping for an angel-stirred healing. Jesus sees the man, asks if he wants to be made whole, and instantly commands him to “Rise, take up thy bed, and walk,” healing him completely on the Sabbath, which prompts the Pharisees to rebuke the man for carrying his mat, while ignoring the miracle. Christ later finds the healed man in the temple and tells him to “sin no more,” and regard his new health and wholeness by God’s mercy as an opportunity to make a break with sin and begin a new life of obedience to God. But that is not the instruction for how we are saved in today’s age of grace, where faith alone in Christ’s death, burial, and resurrection instantly saves sinners from eternal judgment in hell, making them wholly alive in Him.
