Christ was a blessing, my Muslim friend

Christ was the source of blessing to all men; fort his reason, He went about doing good and healing those who were oppressed of the devil (Acts 10:38). Also, the Qur'an confirms this fact, that Jesus was a source of blessing to all men saying: "We appoint Him a sign unto men and a mercy from Us." (Mary 21)

John 5:1-8

 Some time later, Jesus went up to Jerusalem for one of the Jewish festivals. 2 Now there is in Jerusalem near the Sheep Gate a pool, which in Aramaic is called Bethesda and which is surrounded by five covered colonnades. 3 Here a great number of disabled people used to lie—the blind, the lame, the paralyzed. [4]  5 One who was there had been an invalid for thirty-eight years. 6 When Jesus saw him lying there and learned that he had been in this condition for a long time, he asked him, “Do you want to get well?”

7 “Sir,” the invalid replied, “I have no one to help me into the pool when the water is stirred. While I am trying to get in, someone else goes down ahead of me.”
8 Then Jesus said to him, “Get up! Pick up your mat and walk.”
