Q: Out of all the different disabilities you could have – Which would be the worst? Why?

Q: Why do you think God allows disabilities to happen to people?

John 9:1-3

Q: Why did the disciples think God allowed the man to be born blind?

It’s funny to think about – How could the man sin before he was born?

You can tell the disciples were confused!

Q: So why does God allow people to be less fortunate? (So the work of God can be displayed in them)

Q: Is the work of God displayed in everyone who has a disability? (No, have to allow Him to work!)

John 5:1-15

Jesus makes three “SIMPLE” statements!

Each statement should give us some insight in how to get Jesus to work in our lives!

[v. 6]

1st Statement – “Do you want to get well?”

Q: Why do you think Jesus asked the invalid that question?

Q: What kinds of things stop people from wanted to “get well”?

Q: How did the man respond to this question?

Q: What are some “spiritual disabilities” that people can have?

[v. 8-9a]

2nd Statement – “Get up! Pick up your mat and walk”

Q: How do you think most people would react today to Jesus’ statement here?

Q: How did he respond?

Q: What do you think convinced this man to try and stand – He had to have tried before!?

Q: How do you think this man’s life would change after being healed?

[v. 9b-15]

3rd Statement – “Stop sinning or something worse may happen to you.”

Q: What do you think Jesus meant by this statement?

Q: Why do you think the man didn’t know Jesus’ name?

Q: Do you think he was worried about how he was doing spiritually? Or just physically?

Q: What sins do you think this man might have been entangled in?

Q: What do you think he could do to get spiritual healing?

Challenge:

The Bible is SIMPLE! If you want to be “well,” don’t overcomplicate it. Just do it! Study the Bible to learn how to get spiritual healing!
