Events In Jesus Christ's Life. Healing at Bethesda, Transfiguration, and Crucifixion.

 


In Jerusalem, near the Sheep Gate, lies a pool called Bethesda—meaning House of Mercy—surrounded by five porches where the sick, blind, and paralyzed wait for healing. Tradition holds that an angel stirs the waters, and the first to enter is healed. Among the crowd is a man who has been disabled for thirty-eight years, unable to reach the water in time.
Jesus approaches him—not with ritual or spectacle, but with a piercing question:
“Do you want to be made well?”
The man explains his helplessness, but Jesus bypasses the pool entirely. With divine authority, He says:
“Rise, take up your bed and walk.”
Instantly, the man is healed.
This miracle, performed on the Sabbath, stirs controversy among religious leaders. Yet it reveals Jesus as the true source of healing—one who sees, speaks, and restores beyond tradition or timing.


Six days after foretelling His suffering, Jesus takes Peter, James, and John up a high mountain. There, He is transfigured before them—His face shines like the sun, and His clothes become dazzling white. Suddenly, Moses and Elijah appear, speaking with Jesus, symbolizing the Law and the Prophets bearing witness to Him.
Overwhelmed, Peter suggests building shelters for each of them, but a bright cloud envelops them, and a voice from heaven declares:
“This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased. Listen to him!”
The disciples fall facedown in fear, but Jesus gently touches them and says, “Get up. Don’t be afraid.” When they look up, only Jesus remains.
As they descend, He instructs them not to tell anyone until after His resurrection—hinting at the deeper mystery yet to unfold.



The Holy Spirit can be seen in the wind as the leaves fall?

“The wind blows wherever it pleases. You hear its sound, but you cannot tell where it comes from or where it is going. So it is with everyone born of the Spirit.”
