John 5:1-17 "Do You Want to Be Made Whole?"

During one of the Jewish festivals, the Lord Jesus meets a man who had been paralyzed for 38 years. Gathered with other invalids at the Pool of Bethesda, he hoped to be healed.  When Jesus found him and realized he had been a long time in that condition, He asked him a question that carried many implications.  Did the man really want to be made whole? The story has an interesting turn of events.  We aren't told whether the man ever followed Jesus or not.
