Do you want to be healed?: Man At The Pool

Do you want to be healed? (John 5: 1-14). What sort of question is that? Of course, we all want to be healed… don’t we? Yet Jesus meets a man who had been waiting thirty-eight years for healing and asks him exactly that question. Sometimes we grow used to our surroundings—comfortable, secure, and unwilling to change. Like this man, we can become institutionalised. That’s why the question matters: Do you want to be healed? The healing we need is often deeper than the physical. Our minds can be trapped by the invisible walls of our own limitations. It’s been so long that we’ve forgotten what it feels like to truly walk free. We settle for the status quo. But Jesus still asks: Do you want to be healed? If we are willing (Isaiah 1:19)
