Healing Encounters with Jesus There always seems to be a question asked that is so relevant for me. Today’s Gospel, Do you want to be well? In essence Jesus is asking Do you want to be healed?
God reveals his Desire for us: In and through Jesus, God reveals his desire for us. To restore us. To have us experience God's compassion, mercy, and Love. God knows our suffering and struggles because he knows our broken humanity. When we experience God’s healing and Grace, we get to experience his divine healing. Something only God can provide for us.
Why is this important for you and I? Does it really matter for my life? Well that depends on how I answer Jesus’ question today? Do I want to be well or healed?
Is there something about my life that I would like to be different? Do I want my family to feel closer to one another? Do I desire less anxiety in my life? Do I feel trapped in the way society is telling me I should be living? Do I live with resentments I cant let go of?
Today’s Question and Lent helps me to realize even more that each day I could be asking myself these types of questions. And each day I could be encountering Jesus’ healing. The question is, Do I really desire it?
Let us pray
