Life’s Not a Competition
Life’s Not a Competition
“Sir, I have no one to put me into the pool when the water is stirred up, and while I am making my way someone else steps down ahead of me." - John 5:7
This story is as much about how wrong assumptions and negative comparisons keep as stuck as it is about a supernatural healing.
The man assumed that he had to be first into the waters when the angel stirred them in order to be healed.
The oldest versions of this manuscript were hand written. At some point a transcriber assumed the man was correct and added verse four which included this assumption. This is likely not in the original version of the story.
Jesus challenged the man’s assumptions. The man thought he had to be faster and better than someone else to be healed. Jesus told him to focus on himself and get up. And the man did.
Life’s not a competition. It’s not about running faster than everyone else. It’s about running our personal best.
I’m Horace McMillon. This is 60 Seconds of Hope. Peace be with you.
