Jesus came to this man at the pool of Bethesda and offered him the opportunity to be made whole.
Don’t settle for comfort when wholeness is what we want. Don’t settle for a clear conscience when forgiveness is what we need. And don’t settle for what Jesus offers when Jesus is what our hearts long for.
This man claimed that he wanted to be healed, made whole. But he wasn’t willing to receive everything that being made whole entailed. Namely repenting and following Jesus.
This man thought that his worst problem was his inability to walk. And while not making light of that ailment, Jesus lovingly draws near to him to tenderly tell him that there is a greater healing and wholeness that he is in need of.
