All of us are lame in one way or another…and it may have caused others to look down on us (Lev 21:16-23)… diminishing our hope in a better tomorrow (Isa 35:5-6; Jer 31:8). His healing at its deepest is to our souls (Mk 2:1-5; Jam 5:14-16).
I believe Jesus asks each of us a critical question: Do we want to get well? (Jn 5:1-9). Is our desire for healing greater than our desire to remain unchanged?
