The Book Of John John 5:13-17

for educators
Now the man who had been healed did not know who it was, for Jesus had withdrawn, as there
was a crowd in the place. Afterward Jesus found him in the temple and said to him, “See, you are
well! Sin no more, that nothing worse may happen to you.” The man went away and told the Jews
that it was Jesus who had healed him. And this was why the Jews were persecuting Jesus, because
He was doing these things on the Sabbath. But Jesus answered them, “My Father is working until
now, and I am working.”

There’s a Word for that! Draw near

Have you ever thought about your need to be confident in God’s grace and mercy? We can only
display His grace and mercy to others when we are secure in His love for us. Draw near friend.

Hebrews 4:16– Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive
mercy and find grace to help in the time of need.
