The Healing at the Pool of Bethesda - 17 March 2026
Published 2 months, 2 weeks ago
Description
The reflections today are on the Gospel of John, specifically the narrative of Jesus healing a paralyzed man at the Pool of Bethesda. A historical and geographical context regarding Jerusalem’s landmarks, such as the Sheep Gate and the Church of St. Anne are given, while explaining the significance of the miracle occurring on the Sabbath. Beyond the biblical analysis, the emphasis is about the danger of spiritual blindness and the importance of avoiding judgmental attitudes toward others. By weaving in personal anecdotes about gratitude and hidden human suffering, I encourage listeners to look past external rules to recognize divine blessings and maintain compassion for their neighbors.
