Welcome to Close to Him Ministry’s Daily Spiritual Food. Today’s spiritual food is taken from;
John 5:6 -“Do you want to be made well?”
In today’s spiritual food, we continue with the sayings of Jesus in the fifth chapter of the Gospel according to John. The chapter begins that Jesus went to Jerusalem and saw a man who had been who had an infirmity thirty-eight years lying at the pool called Bethesda. The man had been lying there hoping to be healed one day. When Jesus saw him, He posed the question “Do you want to be made well?” to the man.
This question, posed by Jesus to the man at the pool of Bethesda, is both literal and metaphorical. It challenges the man to confront his desire for healing and to take responsibility for his situation. On a deeper level, it asks whether we are truly willing to be healed—whether physically, emotionally, or spiritually. Sometimes, we can become so accustomed to our condition, whether it’s sin, bitterness, or complacency, that we’re not ready to embrace the change that healing requires.
For us, this question serves as a personal reflection: Are we ready to let go of our old ways, to be healed by Christ, and to live a new life in Him? It invites us to reflect on our own readiness for healing and change in our lives. Consider your own readiness for change and healing from sin. If there are areas in your life where you seek transformation, turn to Christ and ask for His help in making you whole.
Thank you for feeding your soul with today’s spiritual food. God richly bless you and see you tomorrow for another edifying food!
