By the Bathesda pool, Jesus, the source of living water, saw a man lying there, waiting for healing for so long.

Do you want to be well?

What is our answer?

If we truly seek the source of living water, if we long for the city of God, we can pray with our Psalm (46):

Be still, and know that I AM God.

Jesus will come to us. The living water will come to us. In our illness, in our work, in our situation in life, Jesus will come to us.

Look, you are well; do not sin any more.

“Have you seen this, son of man?”

Do we see the living waters of grace and healing, flowing from the altar, from the temple, from the city of God? Or do we stay stuck, seeing only sin?

Do we look down to the passing earthly city, possessed by possessions… or do we look up to the eternal city of God, to true freedom in the light of truth which never fades, and never fails?

In the presence of the source of the living water… Do you want to be well?
