John 5:1-6
“Do you want to get well?” is the most important, most fundamental question Jesus asks. He never heals people against their will. It might seem like the paralytic would say, “Of course I do! How can you even ask me that?” But my experience is that every last one of us is spiritually sick, and most people, if they are really honest, don’t want to get well. Not really. Until someone really wants to get well it is impossible to help him.
