John 5.14 - Something Worse will Happen

John 5.14 - Something Worse will Happen!

God heals people every day who do not know Him. Some who get healed by God have no interest in knowing Him, or even thanking Him. But God’s mercy abounds even toward the ungrateful. The man in John 5 is one of those guys. But there is meaning behind mercy.  “…God's kindness is meant to lead you to repentance” (Romans 2.4). Physical healing is no guarantee of spiritual healing.  Later Jesus found him at the temple and said to him, "See, you are well again. Stop sinning or something worse may happen to you" (John 5.14). The Healer is also the Savior. He who ended the man’s 38-year affliction can also deliver Him from an eternity of agony. “Do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather fear him who can destroy both soul and body in hell” (Matthew 10.28)
