The man healed by Jesus at the pool by the Sheep Gate in John 5, could not tell the Jews who his healer was because he had immediately left Jesus, after receiving his healing, and was not able to establish a relationship with Him. The beauty of this story is found is verse 14, where we are informed that " Later Jesus found him..." Even though this man ignored Jesus after the miracle, yet Jesus sought him out! What a loving God we serve.
He seeks to have a relationship with us and consequently, uses all means possible to get us to come to Him, including miracles. The essence of the miracles, breakthroughs, open doors and opportunities are not meant for us to walk away in exhilaration, but to walk towards Him in anticipation. An anticipation fueled by the desire to know Him more and to enter into a relationship with Him. Today Jesus is once more knocking at your heart's door, through these words and He is asking you to allow Him in. The Lord has found us, may we say yes to Him.
