Now I Live Free
Will it be: “I want get over the pain of the past, but I can’t do it.” Or: “I prayed, ‘Lord, I want be healed from the past.’ Then one day I said it and believed that through God it could be. I now live free from all that held me hostage.”
Inspired by John 5:1-3, 5-9
After this there was a festival of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. Now in Jerusalem by the Sheep Gate there is a pool, called in Hebrew Beth-zatha, which has five porticoes. In these lay man invalids –blind, lame, and paralyzed. One man was there who had been ill for thirty-eight years. When Jesus saw him lying there and knew that he had been there a long time, he said to him, Do you want to be made well?” The sick many answered him, “Sir, I have no one to put me into the pool when the water is stirred up; and while I am making my way, someone else steps down ahead of me.” Jesus said to him, Stand up, take your mat and walk.” At once the man was made well, and he took up his mat and began to walk.
