Do You Want to Be Healed?
by Cara Erickson on December 31st, 2025
In John 5, Jesus asks a seemingly obvious yet deeply revealing question of a man who had been disabled for thirty-eight years: “Do you want to be healed?” This blog post reflects on why that question matters—not only for the invalid at the Pool of Bethesda, but for every person Jesus encounters. Through careful engagement with the biblical text and personal testimony, the post explores how our assumptions, excuses, and desire for control can blind us to what God is able to do. Healing, whether from unbelief, sin, fear, or complacency, does not begin with full understanding but with humble trust. For both unbelievers and believers alike, Jesus’ question confronts us with a choice: remain where we are, or rise in faith and walk into the new life He offers.  Read More
Who is Jesus?
by Cara Erickson on November 19th, 2025
For centuries, people have offered a wide array of answers to the question, “Who is Jesus of Nazareth?” Much like observing a prism from different angles, perspectives on Jesus vary—some call him a moral teacher, a prophet, or a good man, while others deny his existence altogether. This post seeks clarity not by surveying public opinion but by going directly to the source: Jesus’ own words. Focusing on three of his self-descriptions—Son of Man, Son of God, and the Way, the Truth, and the Life—we explore how Jesus uniquely reveals both his humanity and divinity, his relationship with the Father, and his exclusive role as the Savior who reconciles people to God. Beyond theology, the post also reflects on the author’s personal experience of Jesus as faithful friend, provider, comforter, and source of enduring hope—even in seasons marked by grief, fear, and uncertainty. Ultimately, the question Jesus asked his disciples still confronts each of us today: “Who do you say that I am?” This is not merely a historical inquiry but the most important question any person will ever answer.  Read More
