There is a book I enjoyed when I was little called "Questions". In it child after child asked adults deep questions about why things are the way they are. Mark Batterson stated in his book The Grave Robber, that children can ask up to 125 deep questions a day about why or how things are the way they are. By the time we reach adulthood we ask on average 6 deep questions a day. Instead of asking questions we start to make assumptions, thinking that this is just the way things are.
I believe the man in John 5: 1-9, is in the place of just thinking things are the way the are. He seemed to be letting his aliment define who was in his entirety and define God as well - what was possible and what was not possible in terms of his healing.
As we get older, we let assumptions replace our faith. We let reality define what God sees as a possibility. How can we start to claim that the impossible can be possible with God once again in our lives?
