Scripture:
John 5:2-9
2 Now in Jerusalem by the Sheep Gate there is a pool, called in Hebrew[a] Beth-zatha,[b] which has five porticoes. 3 In these lay many invalids—blind, lame, and paralyzed.[c] 5 One man was there who had been ill for thirty-eight years. 6 When Jesus saw him lying there and knew that he had been there a long time, he said to him, “Do you want to be made well?” 7 The sick man answered him, “Sir, I have no one to put me into the pool when the water is stirred up; and while I am making my way, someone else steps down ahead of me.” 8 Jesus said to him, “Stand up, take your mat and walk.” 9 At once the man was made well, and he took up his mat and began to walk.
Luke 18:35-43
35 As he approached Jericho, a blind man was sitting by the roadside begging. 36 When he heard a crowd going by, he asked what was happening. 37 They told him, “Jesus of Nazareth[d] is passing by.” 38 Then he shouted, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!” 39 Those who were in front sternly ordered him to be quiet; but he shouted even more loudly, “Son of David, have mercy on me!” 40 Jesus stood still and ordered the man to be brought to him; and when he came near, he asked him, 41 “What do you want me to do for you?” He said, “Lord, let me see again.” 42 Jesus said to him, “Receive your sight; your faith has saved you.” 43 Immediately he regained his sight and followed him, glorifying God; and all the people, when they saw it, praised God.
Lyrics:
“Because of Who You Are”
I love you
Beauty so ancient, beauty so new
You were within
I was on the outside looking for you
You broke through my deafness
You banished my blindness
Lavished yourself on me
I tasted you now I hunger and thirst
For the way that I live in your peace
And because of your great love
Because of who you are
I can sing Redemption’s song
And I am changed
When at last I cling to you
With my whole heart
No more tears
I’m wholly alive, I’m filled with you
You broke through my deafness
You banished my blindness
Lavished yourself on me
I tasted you now I hunger and thirst
For the way that I live in your peace
And because of your great love
Because of who you are
I can sing Redemption’s song
And I am changed
Reflection Questions
Where are you wounded?
Do you want to be made well?
What do you want Jesus to do for you?
As you are walking towards Jesus seeking healing and wholeness, ask Jesus, ‘Who do you want me to walk towards with your healing?’
