Jesus Heals A Man Born Blind

I was blind, but now I see…

John 9:1-12
As he went along, he saw a man blind from birth. 2 His disciples asked him, “Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?”

3 “Neither this man nor his parents sinned,” said Jesus, “but this happened so that the works of God might be displayed in him. 4 As long as it is day, we must do the works of him who sent me. Night is coming, when no one can work. 5 While I am in the world, I am the light of the world.”

6 After saying this, he spit on the ground, made some mud with the saliva, and put it on the man’s eyes. 7 “Go,” he told him, “wash in the Pool of Siloam” (this word means “Sent”). So the man went and washed, and came home seeing.

8 His neighbors and those who had formerly seen him begging asked, “Isn’t this the same man who used to sit and beg?” 9 Some claimed that he was.

Others said, “No, he only looks like him.”

But he himself insisted, “I am the man.”

10 “How then were your eyes opened?” they asked.

11 He replied, “The man they call Jesus made some mud and put it on my eyes. He told me to go to Siloam and wash. So I went and washed, and then I could see.”

12 “Where is this man?” they asked him.

“I don’t know,” he said.

The man was blind so that the good works of God could be witnessed by others. Affliction for advancement of the kingdom of God. To be fortified and galvanized through trial. Once handed to Him, the trial becomes a blessing. Miracles happen everyday, and this blind man could now see because of his faith and belief in Jesus.

Look back on your life and spot that affliction that hit you pretty hard. If it was physical, emotional, or spiritual, remember the trial. Now remember the blessing that was produced through that blessing. Got it? Now share it. That is your testimony. 

A few weeks ago, an older coach who I have known for quite some time came by the gym. He has been fighting Leukemia for years and look downcast and beaten down. He was on his way to see his doctor and needed something. His eyes searched for healing. We prayed together in my office for healing. As he keft, he said he felt something. He felt lifted up. At hid appointment the doctor ran the tests and was dumbfounded by the results. They were the best readings he had in a long time. How? All Jesus.

Activate my friends. The power will flow through you like Living Waters. The power of the Holy Spirit is in you. Just as it was in Jesus. #JesusSaves

Amen
