We've heard this story many times. The man crippled for 38 years waits by the Pool of Bethesda for an angel to stir the waters. The obvious solution to his problem is: get in the water first. Unfortunately, he has no one to help him, and someone always beats him to it.
Jesus comes along and gives him wisdom. First, He asks the man if he wants to be healed. The man informs him that there's no one to help him get into the pool. He's focused on the pool, not Jesus. Obvious solutions often distract us from what we need to do.
The Lord tells him to:
1) Arise
2) Talk up his bed
3) And walk.
The man obeys, and he is healed.
Needs are easy to see.
Problems are easy to find.
Solutions are harder to discover.
Reasons for failure are well pronounced.
