“WILT THOU BE MADE WHOLE TODAY”?
Now a certain man was there who had an infirmity 38 years. Jesus saw him lying there, and asked, WILT THOU BE MADE WHOLE? My friends How bad do you want the transforming power of God’s Spirit to MAKE YOU WHOLE to give you a new life and Character in the Image of the Good Shepherd Himself.
That is where I need you to take your Focus today. Christ knew the man had no business waiting for any movement of water for 38 years, simply because Christ knew this water had no supernatural power to heal. The very source of creation, and life itself stood right in front of him, not in any body of water.
The scriptures tells us “Come to me, ALL who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.” For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.” Matt. 11:28-30 (ESV)
I am not sure if this man had any relationship with Christ before this point the scriptures does not say. But what is so Great about our Savior, is He was still willing to SAVE and SERVE all who comes to him with a sincere and contrite heart.
“THERE IS NO GREATER LOVE” “I have come to call not those who think they are righteous, but those who know they are sinners and need to repent.” Luke 5:32 (NKJV) today our prayers must be MY GOD “ABOVE ALL ELSE GIVE ME YOURSELF THROUGH YOUR SPIRIT AND MAKE ME WHOLE”
And once you have found The saving grace of Christ. FOREVER FOCUS ON Ps.119 1-8 (TLB) “Happy are all who perfectly follow the laws of God. Happy are all who search for God and always do his will, rejecting compromise with evil and walking only in his paths.
You have given us your laws to obey oh, how I want to follow them consistently. Then I will not be disgraced, for I will have a clean record. After you have corrected me, I will thank you by living as I should! I will obey!
Oh, don’t forsake me and let me slip back into sin again” “For with you is the fountain of life; in your light we see light.” Ps. 36:9 oh! how many will loose sight of the Saving grace of God because you did not recognize the fountain of life was right in your PRESENCE but you did not recognige it because you were blimded by the god of this world and what he had to offer.
As you think of your own lives, we search for answers, and solutions to our problems when Christ has already solved them 2,000 years ago, and today he is standing at the door of our hearts knocking for us to let Him in, and wondering, why we have not responded when He continues to ask us WILT THOU BE MADE WHOLE
(Psalm 46:10). Tells us “The answer to our questions, our decisions, is always Christ. He is the Front Gate of the path that follows the right decision.” Is it possible to be paralyzed in sin for so many years and just not want TO BE MADE WHOLE by the Masters touch?
Maybe the man like ourselves had just gotten used to his way of life. The pool was a familiar, and safe environment. Have we as Christians gotten familiar to our environment of sin, that we don’t recognize Christ or His presence among us.
Are we spiritually sick? Living such a comfortable and easy life that we don’t want to change or BE MADE WHOLE. Have we become so complacent, lackadaisical, and self-indulgent, that we have forgotten how to respond to Jesus PRESENCE AMONG US.
When Christ ask the man WILT THOU BE MADE WHOLE he should have cried out “Yes! Yes! Yes! My God Yes! I would give anything to be healed. especially by the touch of the Master. For 38 years he was looking for something that He could have had weather he was sick or not and did not know it But in Gods Mercy and Grace He did MAKE HIM WHOLE. My friends will you respond today also and LET CHRIST MAKE YOU WHOLE before it is to late.
So my friends today. Stay focused, remain faithful, love one another and endure till the end and never forget to STUDY&PRAY
