"Then Jesus said to him, 'Get up! Pick up your mat and walk.' At once the man was cured; he picked up his mat and walked. The day on which this took place was a Sabbath"
"Later Jesus found him at the temple and said to him, 'See, you are well again. Stop sinning or something worse may happen to you.'" John 5:8-9,14
Recurrent acts of my sin had brought my soul down deeply. I was getting tired of it all. Excuses of this and that filled my mind, but Jesus said nothing more than, "Get up!"
It was all that needed to be said. I only had to get up and leave my place of sin. I was to stop sinning from now on, lest I have something worse happen.
Nothing more. Nothing less.
