GET UP! PICK UP YOUR MAT AND WALK

John 5:1-15

Key Verse: 5:8

1.   Read verses 1-3 (4). Where did this event take place? What kind of crowd was waiting by the pool? Why were they waiting? (3,4) In what way does this multitude resemble the world in which we live?

 

2.   Read verses 5-6. To which sick person did Jesus speak? What did Jesus ask him? Why did Jesus ask him such a question? What can we learn from Jesus?

3.   Read verse 7. What reasons did the sick man give for his failure to be healed? Why does he blame others for his failure to find healing? Is there anything in this man that reminds me of myself? Of someone I know?

 

 

4.   Read verses 8-10. How did Jesus heal the man? How was this man's life changed by Jesus' word? Why did the Jews rebuke the man who had been sick? What does this show about them?

 

5.   Read verses 11-15. Did this man know Jesus? When did he recognize him? Where did Jesus meet him a second time? What warning did Jesus give the man? Why?
