that IL Jesus had power to work 80
signal miracle. he had q right to
explain the law. II he had con-
ferred SO great q favor ON him he
had right to expect obedience.
God in imposing any blessing i'm
poses the obligation to obey him.
VS.. IL, 13. 'They asked him.
Who is the man that said unto thee.
Take up thy bed and walk? But
he that was healed knew not who
he was; for Jesus had conveyed
himself away, multitude being In
the place" Instead of looking It
the miracle and being grateful that
this sick man was healed, they con-
sidered only what they thought
might be violation OF the law. Too
many look only at points where men
differ. and are unwilling to listen
to the reasons why others do not
believe as they do.
V. IA. "Afterward Jesus fndeth
him In the temple, and said unto
him. Behold Thou art made whole;
sin no more lest a worse thing be-
fall thee" This blind man likely
went to the temple for the sacred
expression of gratitude to God; it
Is when one thus enters Gods
house that Christ is met. Likely
this man at one time had grievous-
ly sinned and so needed this special
warning. No one following Christ
is to go back to his old life Of sins.
v. Is. 1.-THE man went away,
and told the Jews. that it was Jesus
who had made him whole" He
again is a true witness OF the Lord
as an example whom every follower
should emulate.

Jews prosecuted Jesus, because he

The man not having an open mind

cepted.
V. II. But Jesus answered him,
My Father worketh even unto now,

not need a Sabbath for they are
