Jesus helps us!<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"\"Jesus helps those who want help! When Jesus lived here on earth, He performed many miracles. Sick people were healed\u2014that means becoming completely healthy. But the greatest thing Jesus did was to help people get free from sin.<\/p>\n

In the animated film, children can watch the story of when Jesus healed a man at the Pool of Bethesda. “Do you want to get well?” Jesus asked. It’s a bit strange that He asked a man who had been ill for 38 years if he wanted to get well. But perhaps it is not so strange after all\u2014for not everyone who needs help comes to Jesus. But Jesus helps those who want help\u2014always!<\/p>\n

There were some Pharisees who saw what happened that day\u2014it was on the Sabbath, a day of rest for the Jews. These men didn’t like what Jesus did, but we will come back to that part of the story in part 2 of this topic.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\n<\/div>\n

\"JesusThere was a special place in Jerusalem called the Pool of Bethesda. Now and again, an angel came down from heaven and stirred up the water. The first person who got into the pool after the water had been stirred up would be healed, whatever sickness he or she had. Therefore, there were many sick people by the pool\u2014blind, paralyzed and many other illnesses. They waited for the water to be stirred up, in order to try and be the first into the pool.<\/p>\n

There was a man lying there who had been ill for 38 years! He had never managed to be the first down to the pool, and it looked absolutely hopeless for him. But this day was going to turn his life upside down. Jesus walked past the pool. He paused and noticed the man. Jesus knew he had been ill for a long time. \u201cDo you want to get well?\u201d asked Jesus. The man replied, \u201cSir, I have no one to put me into the pool when the water is stirred up; but while I am coming, another person steps down before me.\u201d<\/p>\n

Then Jesus said to him, \u201cGet up, take up your bed and walk.\u201d At that moment, the man recovered. He must have been overjoyed, and he got up, took up his bed and walked away. After 38 years, his life could finally get off to a fresh start. Jesus had saved him\u2014because he accepted the help Jesus could give him.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\n<\/div>\n
