But Jesus answered them, “My Father’s is working still, and I am working.” This was why the Jews sought all the more to kill Him, because He not only broke the sabbath but also called God His Father, making Himself equal with God. John 5:17, 18

Thank You Lord that You never gave up in Your calling.

Thank You for showing us that no matter how strong the persecution You still obeyed.

Thank You that when You call us You give us the power to carry out whatever that calling is.

Thank You for giving us Your strength and Your power.

Thank You Lord.

And this is why (healed the man by the pool) the Jews persecuted Jesus, because He did this on the sabbath. John 5:16

Lord in some ways we have to wonder what was so bad about the way they felt about You. After all they were obeying what they thought was the correct way. They were doing what tradition and the law told them to do. How can we find fault with them. We know today that You came to fulfill the law but back then they didn’t want to believe You had come to be their Messiah. Many still do not believe that today.

I’m so glad we have all of history to show us who You are Lord.

Thank You for coming to earth and dying so that we might live.

Thank You for fulfilling the law.

Thank You for giving all of us that believe in You eternal life.

Thank You that we will live with You forever and forever.

What a gift You were to all of us Lord.

Thank You Lord.

The man (that was healed) went away and told the Jews that it was Jesus who had healed him. John 5:15

Lord this man was healed and now he knew that it was You that had healed him. He could now tell the Jews that had asked him who it was that had healed him that it was You. Of course he was excited to be up walking and sharing his good news.

Oh Lord how I pray that I never lose the excitement of knowing and loving You.

Thank You for Your patience with me.

Thank You for Your understanding.

Thank You for loving me just as I am with Your unconditional love.

Thank You that Your love calls me on to become more and more like You.
