Eyewitnesses Question Less About Unknowns

[S] John 5:10-13 --
 ¹⁰So the Jews were saying to the man who was cured, "It is the Sabbath, and it is not permissible for you to carry your pallet." ¹¹But he answered them, "He who made me well was the one who said to me, 'Pick up your pallet and walk.'" ¹²They asked him, "Who is the man who said to you, 'Pick up your pallet and walk'?" ¹³But the man who was healed did not know who it was, for Jesus had slipped away while there was a crowd in that place. 

[O] Neither the healed man nor the Jews knew who the healer was that said, "Pick up your pallet and walk" but their responses were different.  The healed man's unknown was not as important because he experienced and witnessed himself what Jesus did to his own life whereas the Jews focused on who allowed this man to carry the pallet breaking the law of Sabbath.  The focus of an eyewitness is what was witnessed, not about other what if's while the focus of those who did not experience the action is the unknowns because they lacked the personal experience.  The Jews were merrily going about with their feast unable to look into this gathering place of the sick, blind, withered, and lame and so they were unaware of this 38 year old invalid's need or healing that took place which had made him a new person filled with joy and hope.  Isn't this the picture of my own life where once I used to be the spiritual invalid before Jesus came and told me to "pick up my pallet (old way of crippled life) and walk"?  And after that experience now I am to let others know how great it is and how they also need to be made whole again.  But the questions I'll get often is "Who is this guy who told you so?  I don't buy it unless I see it myself."  I wish I could have more and more people to experience this wonderful transformation in their own trapped lives.

[A] How am I letting others see the pallet I'm carrying which is the sign of how my life had transformed from before and now.  How I don't need to rely on things other than God as the crutch to sustain my life.  This comes and goes in waves, but I need to be more consistent about letting those close to me know about my witnessing of what Jesus had done in my life.

[P] Dear Jesus, thank You for healing me from my spiritual immobility.  Would you guide me and give me the confidence which comes from deeply experiencing Your word in order to represent Your power of transformation in my life with others around me?  In Jesus' name.  Amen.
