[Ohio-Communities-of-Faith] Being Stuck by Max Lucado

[Maggie Stringer]

The man near the pool of Bethesda didn’t use the word *stuck*, but he could
have. For thirty-eight years near the edge of a pool, it was just him, his
mat, and his paralyzed body. They must have made a miserable sight. Crowds
of people—blind, lame, despondent, dejected, one after the other—awaiting
their chance to be placed in the pool where healing waters bubbled up.

All the gospels’ stories of help and healing invite us to embrace this
wonderful promise: “Wherever Jesus went he healed people of every sort of
illness. And what pity he felt for the crowds that came, because their
problems were so great and they didn’t know what to do or where to go for
help” (Matthew 9:35–36 TLB). Jesus had a heart for the hurting in his day.
He still does today.
