SERIES: Close Encounters with Christ
LESSON 05
TITLE: The Desperate and the Disabled
MAIN TEXT: John 4:43—5:16
BIG IDEA: In these two “signs” Jesus heals the son of a desperate father and causes a detached paralytic to walk again. The father, a nobleman who possibly worked for Herod, showed his faith by trusting Jesus’ word and going back home. The disabled man was anything but grateful.
