Jesus asked: "Would you like to get well?” “I can’t, sir,” the sick man said..."

✅ Love For My Neighbours1 John 4: 20-21, ‘20 If someone says, “I love God,” but hates a fellow believer, that person is a liar; for if we don’t love people we can see, how can we love God, whom we cannot see? 21 And he has given us this command: Those who love God must also love their fellow believers.’ NLT

- Love is what we do, not what we feel

✅I don’t want to be mobilised! John 5:5-9, ‘5 One of the men lying there had been sick for thirty-eight years….6 Would you like to get well?” 7 “I can’t, sir,” the sick man said, “for I have no one to put me into the pool when the water bubbles up. Someone else always gets there ahead of me.” 8 Jesus told him, “Stand up, pick up your mat, and walk!” 9 Instantly, the man was healed! He rolled up his sleeping mat and began walking!...’ NLT

- Stand, Roll up your Mat, start Walking!

✅Take a stand! Gal. 1:10, ‘Obviously, I’m not trying to win the approval of people, but of God.’ If pleasing people were my goal, I would not be Christ’s servant.’ NLT

- Take a stand for the lost in your world

✅Pick Up Your MatMatt. 16: 24, ‘Then Jesus said to his disciples, “If any of you wants to be my follower, you must give up your own way, take up your cross, and follow me.’ NLT

- Taking up one's cross signifies a willingness to endure hardship and persecution for the sake of Christ. It is a call to embrace the challenges and sacrifices inherent in living a life devoted to Jesus
