Title: Do You Want to Be Healed?
Scripture: John 5:1-17
Speaker: Reid Kapple, ReidK@cckc.church

> Receiving from Jesus is not the same as receiving Jesus.

“Some suffering is given in order to chastise and correct a person for wrongful patterns of life…some suffering is given not to correct past wrongs but to prevent future ones…and some suffering has no purpose other than to lead a person to love God more ardently for himself alone and so discover the ultimate peace and freedom…Suffering is unbearable if you aren’t certain that God is for you and with you.”
-Tim Keller

> Do you want to be whole or just comfortable?

> Do you want forgiveness or just a clear conscience?

> Do you want Jesus or just what he offers?

“If you could have heaven, with no sickness, and with all the friends you ever had on earth, and all the food you ever liked, and all the leisure activities you ever enjoyed, and all the natural beauties you ever saw, all the physical pleasures you ever tasted, and no human conflict or any natural disasters, could you be satisfied with heaven, if Christ were not there? ”
- John Piper
