#BETHESDA___WILL_THOU_BE_MADE_WHOLE?
“When Jesus saw him lie, and knew that he had been now a long time in that case, he saith unto him, Wilt thou be made whole?” John 5:6 (KJV)
🔥 #EXHORTATION
Good morning beloved!
Jesus’ question at Bethesda was not casual—it was confrontational. “Wilt thou be made whole?” was not asked because Jesus lacked power, but because wholeness requires willingness to depart, boldness to resist the spirit of fear, risks of determination and diligence of responsibility.
Wholeness is deeper than healing. Healing fixes a condition. Wholeness fixes a mindset. Some people are healed but not whole. They recover physically but remain bound mentally. Others prefer familiarity with pain over responsibility that comes with freedom. When one have stayed in a condition for a long time, there's the tendency to adapt to the circumstance and befriend the environment. Breaking the bond becomes emotionally difficult and leaving his secured means of survival becomes a risk because of fear of the unknown. That is why Jesus asked first. Do you want to be whole?
Beloved, Jesus is asking you today: Do you truly want change, or have you adjusted to your condition? Do you want wholeness, or just relief? Do you want permanent healing, or temporary relief? Wholeness will demand that you rise from what once carried you. Wholeness will break routines that pity has built. Wholeness will expose excuses you have rehearsed.
At Bethesda, mercy is not flowing through water of the pool again—it is flowing through obedience to the word and responsibility of faith. Are you ready for them?
The question still echoes today: Will you be made whole?
🔍 #REFLECTION
Physically: God desires total restoration, not temporary relief.
Spiritually: Wholeness reconnects you to purpose, obedience, and alignment.
Emotionally: You are invited to release dependency, self-pity, and fear.
Mentally: Your thinking shifts from excuses to responsibility, from delay to decision.
