It is difficult to get out of our comfort zone, even if it is for our own good. There are many times that we recognize we need to make a change, but it is too hard to break out of our routines and step into a new future. This Sunday we will be looking at the story of Jesus healing the man at the pool of Bethesda. The man Jesus encounters had been ill for 38 years and had been waiting at the pool for healing. But before Jesus heals him, he asks “Do you want to be made well?” The answer seems obvious. Often times we are faced with the same question. Do we really want to be changed by God? Like the man at the pool, Christ offers us healing. But do we really want to be made well and move into the new future that is possible with God? Rather than lying by the pool and simply hoping for change, we need to do what Jesus instructs the healed man to do. Embracing the grace of God, we need to get up and walk.
