Summary

Do you know Jesus wants to meet you right where you are?

Pastor Erwin McManus shares from the Gospel of John, where Jesus encounters a man who has been paralyzed for 38 years. The man was waiting to be carried into the pool of Bethesda after the waters were stirred to receive the miracle of healing he desperately wanted.

Jesus sees his desperation and first asks the man a simple question: “Do you want to get well?”

The paralyzed man replies by explaining that he needs to get in the water first to be healed.

The paralytic man was standing in front of the God who had the ability to heal him in a moment. But he was convinced that the pool had the power to work a miracle for him instead.

The paralytic man thought he had to get ‘there’ when Jesus wanted to meet him ‘here.’

This message is a powerful reminder that God came to meet us right where we are, without religious structures or hurdles to get to Him.

What have you convinced yourself that you need to do before you can come to Jesus and be transformed?

Tune into this message and experience the power of a God who broke down every barrier to get to you.

0:00.0	Hi, I'm Erwin McManus and this is the Mosaic podcast. I want to thank you so much for joining
0:12.0	us today and if you're one of our regular listeners, we love the fact that you join
0:16.3	you with us and we pray that every single message inspires you and helps you become the
0:21.2	person that God created you to be. Every single week we send a new message across the
0:25.6	world and everything we do here at Mosaic is made available to everyone in the world for
0:30.2	absolutely free. The reason we can do that is that we have incredible people who give
0:34.8	generously and sacrificially to make this possible and I want to invite you to join us.
0:39.2	If you're already a giver, thank you so much. If this is something you've not yet done,
0:43.6	I want to invite you to start doing that now. Go to mosaic.org slash give and give a one
0:48.8	time gift or even beyond that, become a recurring giver here at Mosaic and if you're one of
0:53.3	those individuals who God has blessed an amazing way financially, I want to invite you to become
0:57.8	one of our partners here at Mosaic. What's really beautiful about Mosaic is that our biggest
1:02.8	givers, our families who do not live here in Los Angeles, but they are so committed to the
1:07.3	message of Jesus going through the world that they support the work here from Los Angeles
1:11.0	to the ends of the earth. So I want to invite you again, go to mosaic.org slash give, become
1:15.8	a part of our support system, become one of our partners and more than anything else,
1:19.6	I want you to listen to the message, allow Jesus to speak to you in a way that will change
1:23.8	a lot. And we're looking at the legend of Jesus going back to the shore, this whole
1:30.6	house. And remember, if you're new to the scriptures, there are so many experiences that
1:42.1	the writers who lived during the time of Jesus could have written down and they did not.
1:46.5	In fact, John tells us that if they were down every story, every experience, every moment
1:51.7	they had with Jesus, there would be too many books, so many books you couldn't even contain
