To the man who spent 38 years chronically unwell, poor, and a social outsider, Jesus asked, ‘Do you want to be healed?’

It sounds like an odd question – who wouldn’t want to be healed? But rather than accepting help from Jesus immediately, the man gave a set of excuses.

In this encounter, we gain an insight into the healing power and goodness of Jesus, and understand how he still works today.

The reaction of the religious fundamentalists to this amazing healing demonstrates that for them, seeing is definitely not believing. They saw the miraculous healing but wouldn’t believe in Jesus.

This message addresses both the needy and the self-righteous. Both can experience a radical transformation through an encounter with Jesus.
