Thoughts by Pastor Bernie on the 21 days to get ready for Advent-day 4

John 5--Jesus is on the move back to Jerusalem. At the pool of Bethesda Jesus commands a paralyzed man to pick up his bed pallet and walk. John thereby explains to a Jerusalem audience that Jesus is the Messiah and further explains the reasons why the Jews hated Jesus.  He healed  the man on the Sabbath and told the man to break the Sabbath law too (carry your bed). AND He called God His Father, "making himself equal to God."
To which Jesus says "you've seen nothin yet.". The Son is now raising to life the spiritually dead and will army the last day raise people from their graves.  Jesus promises that those who hear and believe Him already have eternal life. They have "passed from death to life." What does it mean when we call God our Father?







Pastor Bernie has been Pastor at Ascension Lutheran Church in Huntsville AL for over 40.  He lives with his wife Grace, has three children and five grandchildren.
