Some of us can't imagine being free. ⬇️
Sometimes brokenness becomes so familiar that we stop imagining anything different.
We give in to the new normal.
We learn to live with it.
And eventually, we may even prefer the familiar -- even when the familiar is hurting us.
On Sunday, guest preacher Greg Johnson of Revive New England taught from John's Gospel, where Jesus encounters a paralyzed man who had been living beside a pool for 38 years. When Jesus asks, “Do you want to be made well?” the man doesn't answer yes or no. He explains why he can't change.
Sometimes, like the man by the pool, we get so used to our circumstances that we can't even imagine freedom anymore.
Maybe it's an addiction.
Maybe it's bitterness.
Maybe it's a pattern you've lived with for years.
What would it look like to believe that something different is possible?
As Greg reminds us, Jesus is still asking the question:
Do you want to be made well?
