Pastor Joe Key Points John CH 5

Do You Want to Be Well? (Verses 1 to 9)
Jesus encounters a man who had been disabled for thirty-eight years at the pool of Bethesda and asks a direct question. I was talking to someone this week that said they had gone through a challenging season many years ago. Those trials caused them to develop a way to “feel better” that led to them slightly bending the truth. We call that “deception”. The slightly bending of the truth continued to grow ever so slightly until they were lying in so many ways to so many different people that they couldn’t keep track of the lies. Sometimes we live so long in our dysfunction that we start to believe that we are OK.
