We've decided to shorten posts up a little more, so here's our first attempt!
In this passage, it seems like the only thing Jesus likes better than a healing is a healing that makes a point. But what point is he making? He heals a man, then tells him to pick up his mat and walk, and people get all worked up. Apparently, it's against Jewish law to carry your mat on the Sabbath (the holy day of the week). Then, when Jesus sees him later on, he tells him to stop sinning.
Gwah?! I thought Jesus told this guy to carry his mat! So here's your assignment: Why did Jesus tell this guy to stop sinning?
Oh, and you can't answer "because Jesus didn't want something worse to happen to him." That's too obvious.
