Jeremy have been asking the holy spirit for his help with this and in regards to the lame man that Jesus healed I do nt believe that sin was the issue for him just like the blind man was it his parents or did he sin the answer was neither but so that God would be glorified.What was the sin that may have been worse for him.The two situations are related
of the woman caught in
adultery the key words being go and sin
no more only two references in the bible and will explain later the lame man we see at first his dependency on everyone else for his needs he cant do it he is in the best position to receive Gods grace but what does he do with it.Does he follow Jesus
no we are told he goes to the temple and Jesus finds him now that he has his strength to do things on his own what his response to follow the way
of the pharisees that is what is worse than his condition before so he is warned by go and sin
no more.We get confused because we see the word sin but the giver
of is speaking to him to go another way means death.Getting back to the two situations
of the woman caught in
adultery and the lame man here we see a picture
of our hearts on the one our love for sin and on the other the desire to work out our salvation on our terms they are the two areas we have to submit to God.My experience was the self righteousness was the harder to deal with because it is linked in to our feelings
of self worth and self confidence so we have to be broken so we are humble enough to realise that without God we can do nothing our flesh hates that so it is a struggle at first to change our way
of thinking.brentnz
