A bible Devotion series on the book of John
John 5:6-7
When Jesus saw him and knew he had been ill for a long time, he asked him, “Would you like to get well?” “I can’t, sir,” the sick man said, “for I have no one to put me into the pool when the water bubbles up. Someone else always gets there ahead of me.”
Day 5 – Jesus the miraculous healer!
I had a high school English teacher who would often say to the class before an exam, “Please Remember to answer what the question asks and not what you think the question should be!
The crippled man is asked a simple question but instead of answering the question he responds with a long explanation of why he can’t get what he wants.
It’s easy to judge him, but how many times have we talked ourselves out of opportunities because of all the hurdles that scream “Impossible!”?
Jesus heals the man proving that there’s no obstacle too complicated for him and he can still do it today!
Think on it:
Are there any places in your life where you might have limited God from working because you’ve believed it’s just not possible?
