What a curious question to ask an invalid, ‘Do you want to get well?’ Does it surprise you that in this man’s story he starts explaining what miracle he believed, but now, he saw the Kingdom of Heaven, and said ‘Yes’ to Jesus. Being healed means we have to take responsibility for ourselves; who we believe? Our own image of god or Jesus is our King who rules us and heals us.

"When Jesus saw him lying there and knew that he had already been there a long time, he said to him, “Do you want to be healed?”When Jesus saw him lying there and knew that he had already been there a long time, he said to him, 'Do you want to be healed?'" – John 5:6 (English Standard Version)

"Dear Lord, deliverance and healing are in your hand, almighty God, my trust is in you alone, not a god we created in our own image. In Jesus’ name, Amen."
