John 5:9
Comments
It was an amazing miracle. All the people there were astonished. This man had been sick so long and infirm, disabled. He was known by many, observed by many. He took up his bed and walked. And then the ominous note at the end of verse nine – ‘And on the same day was the sabbath.’ Then the hostility begins for this particular visit. ‘The same day was the Sabbath.’
Application
It was immediate. In the same way the person who comes to Christ is made whole immediately: the mind is changed, the heart is changed, the will is changed – all the departments of the soul. My thinking is never the same again. I understand the mercy of God and the way of salvation. My affections have changed. I love the God I once resisted. I am not made perfect overnight by any means, but my will is to serve him and honour him and please him, and now when I fall, it is a matter of anguish and conscience. All parts of the person are dramatically changed.
