When Jesus
saw him lying there and learned that he had been in this condition for a long
time, he asked him, “Do you want to get well?” –John
5:6 (NIV)
Why does Jesus ask such a
seemingly “DUH” question? The man was
just lying there. Is he content to let
that continue? Jesus really seems to be
asking, “Are you willing to be healed?”
When we are faced with our own
“disabilities” how do we respond? Do we
ignore them and keep on sinning? Do we
keep on doing the same things we’ve always been doing...but expecting different
results ...this time?
Do we ask for healing? When we pray for healing are we willing to
change?
In our confession of sins to
our Lord are we willing to see a need, examine the issue, pray for His healing,
and then ask for a change in our heart to rid us of this sin?
Oh,
Lord, renew a right Spirit within me. by Lou Hanson
