Desiring Healing

"Do you want to be well? Jesus asked the 38 year veteran of the five porticoes at tjhe pool called Bethesda. (Jn 5: 1-16).  The man does not say yes or no, but explains his dilemma at not being able to be the first in the pool to receive the promised cure when the waters were stirred. Nevertheless, Jesus takes pity him and orders him to take up his mat and walk. He even does this on the Sabbath, again showing mercy is greater than the rules.
But what about us? Do we too not desire healing, physically or spiritually?  These days when COVID 19 has nearly shut down the world, a desire for exemption or healing is foremost in our minds. People are turning to prayer, realizing that medical science, is doing as much as it can and preventive measures encouraging staying at home, are not the full answer.  We need the healing power of Jesus, the Soter,(Greek) Salvator (Latin) Savior--one who brings healing. Come Lord Jesus.
