This short meditation is taken from a New Testament encounter in the life of the Lord Jesus, which is found in John’s gospel 5:1-11NKJV.

The Place Jesus Walked
Verse 1 describes the place as ‘a pool which is called in the Hebrew tongue Bethesda, having five porches.’

YOU – VITAL PART OF THE BODY OF CHRIST!

(August 29, 2023) Brian Bell shares encouragingly on an important 2023 matter…
