Here is today’s Bible reading:  1 Samuel 1:1-2:21; John 5:1-24; Psalm 105:37-45; Proverbs 14:28-29.

John 5:6 (NIV)
When Jesus saw him lying there and learned that he had been in this condition for a long time, he asked him, “Do you want to get well?”

Interesting question, isn’t it?  Jesus asks the same of us.  Do you want to get well?  Do you want to be delivered from the sin that holds you in bondage?  Or would you rather remain in a dysfunctional universe where you believe that you are the center?  Many reject the offer to be healed.  They would rather live in their familiar bondage without having to deal with their sin.  But those who recognize the futility of such a live are set free indeed.  Do you want to get well?
