This message, we’re looking at a question of Jesus which, at face value, makes no sense at all.

Jesus approaches a sick man and asks him, “Do you want to be healed?"

Why would Jesus ask this? This man was obviously struggling and in need of help. But Jesus asks him if he wants to be healed.

As we unpack this question this message, we’ll see that there’s more to it than you might think.

In a simple question, Jesus removes all barriers, motivations, and excuses, when he simply asks: "do you want to be made well?"

We’ll see how this physical example demonstrates a spiritual truth that Jesus brings healing and wholeness. And the question for us is: do we really want Jesus to heal all of us and to go there?

Read John 5:1-18 for this sermon.
