Have you ever waited for something for a very long time? When finally, your waiting was fulfilled, how did it change your life? Are you still waiting and if so, how is waiting affecting your life now? Today, let’s join Jesus in Jerusalem as he encounters a crippled man who had waited many years hoping somehow things might get better for him. This story is found only in John 5:1-15. While Jesus had come to Jerusalem for one of the Jewish festivals, John does not specify which festival, so we don’t know exactly what time of year, or when in the story of Jesus this event happened. But let’s join Jesus today as He encounters as cripple and his life changes forever.
