Pastor Kerry Shook Daily Devotional - May 11

Summary

This devotional explores the miracle of Jesus healing an invalid at the pool of Bethesda, as recorded in John chapter 5. It highlights Jesus' direct question, "Do you want to get well?", and the man's initial excuse instead of a simple affirmation. The practical takeaway is that we must actively choose to rise above our familiar bondage, whether sin or ingrained habits, and accept Jesus' command to "get up, pick up your mat and walk."
