How do we know Christ's mercy is available to us?

The narrative of Jesus healing the impotent man at Bethesda emphasizes that He sees and reaches out to those in need. Christ's inquiry, 'Wilt thou be made whole?' serves as an invitation to accept His mercy. By revealing Himself as the source of healing, He assures us that His grace is accessible to all who recognize their unworthiness and need for divine intervention. This accessibility of mercy is a central theme in the New Testament, calling sinners to trust in Christ's atoning work.
