Engage: Showing Jesus’ Heart
Passage: John 5:1-15
Theme: Jesus shows a pattern of loving people. Jesus met with people where they were. Jesus listened, touched, and reached out to them. He initiated. He engaged! In this encounter, Jesus sees a man who is lame (aren’t we all!) and takes the initiative and asks, “do you want to get well?” With power and authority, Jesus says “get up!”
