He didn't know who it was at first. When asked why he was carrying his mat on the Sabbath, he simply said that the man who healed him told him to pick up his mat and walk. This newly healed man was obedient to the one that healed him...Walking and carrying his mat.
It wasn't until later that day in the temple that Jesus found the man and informed him that it was Jesus who had healed him.
The man was warned of Jesus to stop sinning or something worse would happen to him. The man regardless of faith in Christ was healed, was well. Now, the one that healed him gave him the message of repentance. A helpful message and a life-changing message..repent for the kingdom of heaven is near and real!
We don't know what became of the man, but we do know what he did with the news of Jesus...he told the ones that asked him earlier who it was
IT WAS JESUS.
Question: do you and I give credit and glory and fame and thanks to Jesus when he does miracles mundane or marvelous in our lives? I do not always. However, with the testimony of this man healed by Jesus I can say of all things...it was Jesus.
