Do you wish to get well?

When Jesus saw him lie, and knew that he had been now a long time in that case, he saith unto him, Wilt thou be made whole? John 5:6

A simple question, "Do you want to get well?".  Seems silly.  Who wouldn't?  Unfortunately, the answer is many people.

When Jesus encountered the man at the pool, He asked the question.  The man had told his story that he had been waiting for 38 years to be healed.  38 years.  Unable to make it to the pool.  No new way of trying to make it happen.  No new friends to help.  Just 38 years of the same.  So it seems like a valid question.  Was it a lack of effort, or possibly blindness to his situation brought on by years?  Either way, Jesus looked past all that to the present.  Right now, do you want to get well?

The question is true for us today.  Do you want to get well?  Regardless of past sins or mistakes.  Do you?  When you answer, Jesus knows your heart.  So, don't answer from a sing-song attitude.  Be sincere.  When you say, "YES!", God will answer.  Even better, the answer is magnificent.

Today, are you facing trouble?  Today, are you confused?  Today, do you want to get well?

Call on Jesus, He's waiting
