WILT THOU BE MADE WHOLE?

September 11

John 5:6  

When Jesus saw him lie, and knew that he 

had been now a long time in that case, he saith

 unto him, Wilt thou be made whole? 

The great Physician presents Himself to us this morning, and He asked, “Wilt thou be made whole?“

This is a searching question.

Are you willing to be sanctified throughout?

Willing that He should use what means He pleases to conform us to Himself?

Jesus is able to sanctify us wholly; the time of mercy is now; are we desirous of being healed?

If so, let us put ourselves into His hands for the purpose; let us submit without hesitation to His terms; He performs the cure and receives all the glory.

Let us not fancy that our case is hopeless, but let us look to Jesus, who will heal us, and heal us GRATIS.

Open the whole case to Him, consult Him daily, trust Him implicitly, and expect to shine before the Father’s throne as proof of His skill and kindness.

No case can be desperate, while Jesus lives to heal; no sinner can be too poor, for He heals without money and without price.

Oh Jesus! heal us this morning! Soften our hard hearts.

Regulate our disorderly wills.

Elevate our earthly afflictions.

Fill us with holiness, fill us with love.

We lie at Thy feet, and we trust Thy word.

O to be made whole!

Jesus, to Thee for help I call,

With pitying eye behold me fall,

Diseased at Thy throne;

Oh, heal my soul, remove my sin,

Now make the filthy leper clean

Remove the heart of stone.
