When Jesus saw him lying there, and knew that he already had been in that condition a long time, (John 5:6 NKJV)
While he was starring at the water hoping for healing .. He didn't think of Jesus He Himself who healed plenty .. Nor yelled like another saying " oh mercy son of David" neither did he reach out his hands to touch him among the crowd to be cured.or looked at him with longing eyes ..When Jesus saw him ...
He is lying there  prisoner to his own heavy weary body and crushed soul of pain and loneliness. He is prisoner of his hopes .. He cannot imagine healing anywhere outside the pool .. Moreover prisoner of his own despair because the very long time breaks down hope. He is prisoner to 38 which implies lacking because 40 is a tenth number that implies perfection ..
So he is lacking 2 numbers to reach perfection... What is he missing ?!!
He is missing an angel from heaven to stir the water, and that's the divine part and is missing someone to put him in the water and that's the human part ..
So Christ ;God in Flesh...came to him He who is both divine and human..
 
Christ when He saw humanity lying and knew that it had already  been a long Time, when the fullness of time had come He came to give her full healing .
 
Today oh Lord you expose your caring  to us .. For you are the healing, fullness, and perfection.. 
The word "do you want to be mad well" was cure to a desperate soul.. And the word "rise take up your bed and walk" was cure to the weary body.. 
And the word “you have been made well. Sin no more, " was cure to the sin spirit ..
 
Oh true physician  ; heal.the sickness of our souls,bodies and spirits . For You are the hope of those who are hopeless and the help of those who have no helper; the comfort of the fainthearted; the harbor of those in the storm. For thine the glory

One of the most famous weeks in the Lenten season known by our congregation with all its details and reflection is the third Sunday of the Great Lent “the Prodigal Son”. And This Sunday lays out profound spiritual insights that are beneficial for our fasting and relationship with our Lord. And to be specific we recount some of the amazing points in this parable for our own virtuous..

Firstly; that God loves us and His love gave us freedom and never retrieved it even if He knows that we will do wrong.. in the Parable of the Prodigal son, the  father gives the younger of his two sons his inheritance before he dies, as his son’s inappropriate request, yet he gave him his advice - as our heavenly father gives us his commandments in the gospel – but with the son’s insistence for his substance his father did gave him what he wanted.

Secondly; God’s longsuffering to His Children and their sins, His endurance for them to come back once more. And for that this father that represent our Heavenly Father is always looking for his son’s return despite  what he has done and have sinned against himself and his father , however this is the love that suffers long  for that Paul the Apostle says in Corinthians “Love suffers long and is kind”..

Thirdly; it’s the joy of the father with the return of his son and didn’t utter  about what he has done or mistaken of. On the contrary he gave him  all the manifestations of the feelings of love and joy by holding a feast to celebrate his return :slaughter the "fattened calf" for a celebratory meal, dress him in a fine robe of repentance , a ring on his finger because he has returned  to his repentance as the son of His father.

Oh my beloved, let’s learn in this week longsuffering to those who do trespass against us just like God endures us
