A suffering man beside the pool of Bethsaida expected healing to look a certain way, so much that he had no way to anticipate the healing Jesus offered. The truth that ashes tell at the beginning of Lent is similarly surprising and healing.

Pastor Ben Masters preached "The Truth that Ashes Tell" on February 26, 2020, Ash Wednesday at Hector Presbyterian Church.

Scripture readings: Isaiah 57:14-21 & John 5:1-13
