Today’s reading is John 5:1-24
“Now there is in Jerusalem by the Sheep Gate a pool, in Aramaic called Bethesda, which has five roofed colonnades. In these lay a multitude of invalids—blind, lame, and paralyzed. One man was there who had been an invalid for thirty-eight years. When Jesus saw him lying there and knew that he had already been there a long time, he said to him, “Do you want to be healed?” The sick man answered him, “Sir, I have no one to put me into the pool when the water is stirred up, and while I am going another steps down before me.” Jesus said to him, “Get up, take up your bed, and walk.” And at once the man was healed, and he took up his bed and walked. Now that day was the Sabbath.”

‭‭John‬ ‭5:2-3, 5-9‬ ‭ESV‬‬

All,
This stands out because the sick man says, “Sir, I have no one to put me into the pool when the water is stirred up, and while I am going another steps down before me.” Do we only see our solution to our problem? Do we want Jesus to do what we want Him to do or do we just want to be healed? Jesus wants to heal all His children, but it will probably not be the solution we think it will be. Often times, I think money will solve a problem or a certain decision by a key player. However, Jesus plainly asks if we want to be healed. Please pray that we and our friends seek healing from Jesus for whatever ails us. Please pray for Drew Parsons family. We have another CLC brother with Jesus now. I’ll send information later this morning.
