Bible Note: Greetings Doc! Many blessings to you and yours in 2010. I am contemplating this verse. Jesus' command to "stop sinning" would indicate that the man was sinning. What sin can we see in this passage? Could it be that he failed to give glory to God for his healing? It is interesting to note that the Pharisees were more concerned that the man was carrying a burden - his mat - than the fact that he had been healed (of a bigger burden!) - any input here? As believers, we have the resident Spirit of God to enable us to choose not to sin, but when we fail to do this, what is the "something worse" that Jesus suggests will happen to us? Might it be the enabling the foundation of a stronghold to be built? In Christ's love, mommapbs |
