John 5
5 One man was there who had been an invalid for thirty-eight years. 6 When Jesus saw him lying there and knew that he had already been there a long time, he said to him, “Do you want to be healed?”
Was Jesus asking the obvious? Of course, he wanted to be healed, else the invalid would not have been there for thirty eight years.
On the other story, 16 And this was why the Jews were persecuting Jesus, because he was doing these things on the Sabbath.
The Jews are waiting for their messiah, but when they saw the work of Jesus, the first question was where was Jesus doing the work on Sabbath? Was not an irrelevant question?
What are we waiting for? What is the purpose?
The invalid knew for one thing and the thing for sure - get healed.
The Jews knew what they are waiting for, but in the process lof waiting, lost sight of the waiting.
I am in mid life. I am looking forward towards the day of the Lord tremendous blessings. I am not losing sight, regardless, the best plan is to life in the will of God..
