What does Jesus’ question to the impotent man teach us?

When Jesus asks the impotent man, "Will thou be made whole?" he provokes an introspective inquiry regarding the man's willingness to accept healing and transformation. This question is profound, as it reflects on the man's condition both physically and spiritually. It underscores that attending to one’s spiritual needs often requires personal acknowledgment of one’s state. In our spiritual journeys, we are similarly prompted to consider whether we genuinely desire healing and restoration from our sin and struggles. The Lord desires to see a response of faith, compelling us to confront our own conditions and recognize our need for his intervention in our lives. This act of asking serves as an invitation to seek his grace and healing power actively.
