Healing Hopelessness

At one of the Jewish feasts, Jesus goes by the Pool of Bethesda and heals a man who'd been an invalid for 38 years. In an instant, he reverses not only physical impotence and deformity but also social ostracism, ceremonial uncleanness, and hopelessness. And he deliberately heals on the Sabbath day to show the Jews that he'd come to fulfill the true meaning of Sabbath rest.
