Getting Well

When Jesus saw him lying there, and knew that he had already been a long time in that condition, He said to him, "Do you wish to get well?
John 5:6

Before the paralyzed Man by the pool of Bethesda was healed, he had to come face-to-face with a question that, on the surface, seems bizarre. " Do you want to get well? Jesus asked him. "Do I want to get well?" The man might have exclaimed. "What kind of question is that? Of course I want to get well?
   That's not what he said. Instead  he began to explain why being well was outside the realm of possibility for him. Somewhere along the way his dream of ever walking again had died. Jesus , however is in the business of resurrecting things that have died. With loving compassion. He simply said to the man, " Get up." Inherent in His word was both the motivation and the ability for the man to finally do what his heart had yearned to do for years to walk.
   What has died in you? What debilitates you in your grace walk? You can be well . God's will is most definitely for you to know and believe thus fact it's your turn! Jesus is speaking to you right now. Deep inside you something his stirring. It is a hope that all this might be true. Well it is sometimes reasoning misses us that the author of life we are talking to. Now faith is!
