John 5:1-16

{ THE SEED } What comes to mind when you read this ordinary word?
well
{ THE SPROUT } How does the word change when part of the Gospel phrase?
the man who made me well
{ THE PLANT } How is God speaking to you today?
He answered them, “The man who made me well told me, ‘Take up your mat and walk.'”

{ THE BEFORE } Does God’s message change knowing the Gospel setting?
There was a feast of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
{ THE AFTER } Does God’s message change knowing the Gospel conclusion?
The man went and told the Jews that Jesus was the one who had made him well. Therefore, the Jews began to persecute Jesus because He did this on a sabbath.
