In John 5, we encounter a profound question that cuts through religious ritual and false hope: 'Do you want to be made well?' At the Pool of Bethesda, where crowds of sick people waited for a superstitious stirring of waters, Jesus singles out one man who had been paralyzed for 38 years. This passage exposes how easily we substitute religion and superstition for a genuine relationship with the Savior. We see that Jesus doesn't heal us by fixing our lives; He heals us by giving us His.
