Hope and Healing

In John 5, before Jesus heals an invalid of 38 years, He asks him an odd question: “Do you want to get well?” In essence, when Jesus asks this man if he wants to be made well, He is asking him if he is willing to change. Sometimes people desperately want their situation to change, but they don’t want to change. As we engage our community, not everyone will want hope and healing, but we must continually point people to Jesus.
