Do You Want to Get Well?

Jesus asks an invalid, a man who has been handicapped for 38 years do you want to get well? Now that question is equal parts tender and completely unnecessary. When jesus turns water to wine at the wedding of cana woman, why do you involve me? And when he raises the deceased daughter of the synagogue leader gyrus, why all the commotion and wailing? Jesus repeatedly poses questions with obvious answers,. Questions that invite others to put into verbal language what they really and most deeply want. I want to hear you say it.
