#BETHESDA___HOUSE_OF_MERCY

“After this there was a feast of the Jews; and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.” – John 5:1 (KJV)

🔥 #EXHORTATION

  Good morning beloved!

  John 5 opens with a powerful revelation—Jesus walked into Jerusalem and headed straight to Bethesda. Bethesda means House of Mercy. A place where multitudes gathered: the sick, the weak, the forgotten, the discouraged, the abandoned. Yet it remained a place of waiting without results, because mercy was present only in name, not in experience.

  But everything changed the moment Jesus arrived. Where the system failed, the Savior intervened. Where men ignored, mercy remembered. Where delay persisted, mercy accelerated. Where rules restricted, mercy rewrote. Bethesda teaches us a deep spiritual truth: Mercy is not a structure or system; mercy is a Person. 

  Mercy is Jesus. When He steps into your story:  cycles of waiting are broken,  long-term afflictions dissolve, destiny stagnation ends,  hopelessness is overturned, and the impossible becomes immediate.

  Beloved, no matter how long you have been waiting for healing, help, lifting, restoration, or direction—Jesus will appear to you today through his words, and mercy will speak for you. You will not die at the porch of expectations and waiting. You will rise by the command of mercy in Jesus name.  Amen.

  Declare boldly today:

  I am in Bethesda—Mercy will locate me, lift me, and rewrite my story!

🔍 #REFLECTION
