Broken to Beauty - Part 3

November 3, 2024 • Minister Raymond Archibeque • John 5:1–10, Matthew 11:28–30

How to stay and live on the other side of brokenness? What does Scripture show us on how to live beyond the hurt and misery? How do we endure, and what happens to us after the pain subsides? To live on the other side of broken means that we must be willing to take the hand of the One and only One who is more than able to take us to the other side. And much like any healing journey, it is going to take time. It is not going to be easy, but “We do not grow in easy.” – S. Gorman

Do you want to be made well? We would say yes, absolutely, but do we, do we really? How strange indeed to ask a cripple if they want to be made well. This seems like a no-brainer. Of course, he wants to be made well. Wouldn't you want to be made well if you were crippled or had some sort of debilitating infirmity? It seems like such a silly question, yet, here is our Jesus, asking this man the question - does He want to be healed? Such a question may seem strange or even a little silly to you or me, but to our all-knowing Lord, it is a very sound and pertinent question. Is He testing this man's faith?
