For thirty-eight years a man had an infirmity and then one day Jesus came upon the scene. Walked onto a portico surrounded by five porches and over to a man lying by the pool called Bethsaida.

With great tenderness he said, “Wilt thou be made whole?”

A strange question, at first hearing, for one would believe that certainly for thirty-eight years it had been the fervent hope and prayer of this man that he be made whole.

But then you look again at the words and in particular if you look at the original Greek…for now you find the question means, “Are you in earnest…do you really want to be made whole?”

And therefore to you…Do you in your quest as a Christian really want to be made whole.

You do not lie on a stretch surrounded by five porches but you live in a world surrounded by more than five temptations.

And to you Jesus says, “Are you in earnest…do you really want to be made whole?”

Are you apathetic about your sins? Are you lethargic about your weaknesses?

Is your love for God only a weak and listless thing?

Is it perhaps beautiful like fine crystal…but just as fragile.

Someone once wrote, “A man who would have friends must show himself friendly.”

This could quite easily be rephrased to read, “A man who would have God must show himself Godly.”

And what is Godly?

Well, in 1 Corinthians, Chapter 13, we read “If I speak with the tongues of men and of angels but have not love. I am become as sounding brass or a tinkling cymbal. And if I have the gift of prophrecy and know all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith so as to remove mountains but have not love, I am nothing.”

Love God! Love our fellowman as ourselves! Set this as our goal…our mission…and our very soul will have a smile as wide as a sunrise meeting a sunset on a very special day with God.

Jeremiah 9:23-24 NKJV) "Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom, Let not the mighty man glory in his might, Nor let the rich man glory in his riches; {24} But let him who glories glory in this, That he understands and knows Me, That I am the LORD, exercising lovingkindness, judgment, and righteousness in the earth. For in these I delight," says the LORD”.
