Jesus saw the sick man. The Bible says that HE “knew that he had been ill for a long time” (John 5:6). So, why does Jesus asked him - “Do you want to be well?” Isn’t the answer to the question obvious?
The problem is not with Jesus. The problem is with us. We don’t know what we want.
- We want to get out of debt but we keep on borrowing money.
- We want to prosper but we don’t want to work
- We want to be free from our addictions but we don’t avoid the places where our bad habits thrive
- We want to fix our broken relationships yet we prioritize our pride instead of being humble and asking the other party for forgiveness.
- We want God but we don’t pray.
Lord, allow me to answer the question “Do you want to be well?” not only with words but with my actions. Amen - alvinfabella@yahoo.com
