TRANSCRIPT:

Do you want to get? Well.

That's what Jesus asked.

The man lying by the pool of Bethesda.

38.

Years. He waited, hoping, watching.

Stuck.

He had reasons.

He had excuses. But what he.

Didn't.

Have.

Was healing until.

Jesus showed up.

And when he did, he didn't offer sympathy. Rather, he issued a command. Take your mat and walk. In that moment, everything changed because healing didn't come through time. It came through obedience.

To the word.

Friend. Maybe you're the one lying on the mat today. Paralyzed by pain.

Overwhelmed by loss.

Wondering if your breakthrough will ever come. Or maybe you're someone God.

Is calling to rise up and help others take their first steps toward.

Healing.

Whichever it is.

I need you to hear this.

Jesus is still.

Saying.

Get up.

Your healing.

Starts.

The moment.

You stop.

Waiting and start walking. And here's the part I can hardly believe myself. We've made the tools for healing so accessible.

So affordable that.

Literally anyone within the reach of my.
