Now a certain man was there who had an infirmity thirty eight years. When Jesus saw him lying there, and knew that he already had been in that condition a long time, he said to him, “Do you want to be made well? – John 5:5-6 Jesus question might seem a little strange. But one commentator states: “ an eastern beggar often loses a good living by being healed of his disease”Likewise many people today who are in bad situations are afraid to do anything about it because the situation they are in is familiar, and to allow God to move in their life would bring the unfamiliar into their life and that is uncomfortable. Lord forbid if we have to get a little uncomfortable!I heard of a prison that was converted into a hotel and is ran by nuns. Many today are living imprisoned in comfortable, familiar, unproductive lives, They are living in comfortable prisons. Jesus said, ” I have come that they may have life,and that they may have it more abundantly.” Are you living a life that is rewarding and fulfilling? If not Jesus is the answer!
