Today’s episode is both deeply meaningful to me and deeply personal. I’m amazed at all the ways the ancient and ever Story of the Bible meets us in our modern, current, right now stories and lives. We are absolutely getting ready to see that Jesus is BETTER than we ever knew!
Our biblical pearl today is another well-known and often-taught passage from the New Testament but we are getting ready to look at it through the Middle Eastern lens. It’s the story of Jesus healing the lame man at the Pool of Bethesda in Jerusalem. As we look at this story anchored in its historical, and cultural context, significant light will be shed on the story, as well as the intriguing question Jesus asked the lame man.
“Do you want to get well?” This question seems strange and enigmatic to us. The man had been lame for 38 years. What was Jesus was really asking here? What was behind his question? I will share the story of when this question found me in my own life and journey, and what it meant to answer Jesus’ question with a “yes” in my own heart.
