John 5

Highlight verse:

““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.””

John 5:7 NIV

All Jesus did was ask if the man wanted to get well. This man goes into a list of excuses.

How many times to we do the same thing?

“Do you want to get well?”

“I’m too tired to get up that early.”

“But I was hungry.”

“But everyone else does it.”

He’s heard it all before. And He still wants you well. He has such compassion for you that He keeps asking.

“Do you want to get well?”

“Yes!”

Are there things that God is asking you to do to get the wholeness you want?

What is standing in the way of proverbially taking up your mat and walking?
