Episode: Do you Want to Get well?

Scripture:

John 5:1–15

Isaiah 35:5–6

John 14:6

John 20:30–31

Main Ideas:

Jesus intentionally moves toward the most broken, overlooked, and desperate people.

Grace comes before change. Jesus heals first, then calls the man to sin no more.

The religious leaders miss the miracle because they’re obsessed with rules—just like we often miss what God is doing when we’re fixated on control.

Jesus doesn’t ask us to fix ourselves. He asks us to trust Him.

Like the man by the pool, we often put our hope in everything but Jesus. And yet, He still meets us with compassion.

Reflective Questions:

What area of your life feels stuck, broken, or hopeless right now?

Where have you been trying to fix yourself instead of trusting Jesus to restore you?

How might Jesus be inviting you to stop striving and simply receive His grace?

Action Step:

Take a quiet moment today to hear Jesus ask you, “Do you want to get well?”

Be honest. Then, invite Him into that space.
