Tuesday of the 4th week. Ez 47, 1-9.12; John 5:5-13;

March 12, 2024 Emily Arthur

Jesus, the divine pool

In the gospel, Jesus is at the sheep pond in Jerusalem, which was believed to have healing powers. Jesus heals a man by simply telling him to get up and walk. Jesus is God.

 Jesus has an exceptional power, which goes beyond the samentals to which we give more importance. It is he who grants them their power. We must put our faith in him. 

Jesus himself is the pool of water that heals and gives life. It is he, the Temple of the first that Ezekiel speaks of in the first reading. And the flow of water in question is the water of baptism. It is Jesus himself, the water of the sanctuary that nourishes all people, represented here by the trees, fish, and other things that feed on the water.

Jesus fulfills the prophecy of the prophet Ezekiel through the healing of this man who had suffered for 38 years. He does it today through the sacrament of baptism for all those who believe in him. Whatever the duration of your problem, Christ remains Master of Time. Invite Jesus into your situation, and you will find the situation. You too, take your stretcher and walk and abandon the negativity of your past enter the new season of grace, of forgiveness, of celebration of new life and holiness. Do you want to be healed?
