SEEING WITH THE SIGHT OF FAITH!=Can you see it?

 

 

 

 

 

 

SEEING WITH=THE SIGHT OF FAITH!

(Can you SEE IT)?

 

PHYSICAL BLINDNESS=MUST BE AWFUL==I can ONLY IMAGINE=But

Spiritual BLINDNESS=is pretty bad too!=Today We have the HEALING=of a BLIND

MAN=Physically=But we see the SPIRITUAL BLINDNESS=of the  Religious leaders too=

CAN you not see it?=SEE IT=With the EYES OF FAITH!=”One thing =I do KNOW=is that

I was blind=and NOW I SEE”                                                                                                                      John 9:25

 

Today we have=A FAMOUS GOSPEL=From John=That is FULL of drama=Full of Irony=and

Full of EMOTION=Can you=NOT SEE IT?=Jesus HEALS a good-hearted  and simple BLIND MAN=

But the religious leaders become UPSET=Because it was=ON THE SABBATH DAY=and they TRY and

BROWBEAT=the parents of=THE BLIND MAN=and the man himself=”Some of the Pharisees said=’

‘This man is=NOT FROM GOD=for he does NOT keep the Sabbath’”                                        John 9:16

“But others asked’=’HOW can a sinner=PERFORM such signs?’=so they were divided’”   John 9:16

 

So the authorities=QUESTION the parents=But they want NO PART of this controversy=and they tell

Them=to talk  to THEIR SON==NO ONE can SEE clearly here=EXCEPT the blind man=and Jesus=of

Course=SEEING WITH THE EYES OF FAITH!=Can you see it?=Can I see it?=It is ANOTHER  MIRACLE=From our JESUS!

 

“Have FAITH in God’=Jesus answered=’Truly I tell you=If anyone says=to this mountain=’Go

 Throw yourself=In to the sea’=and does NOT DOUBT in their heart=but BELIEVES that=What they

Say will happen==It will be done for them’”                                                                                          John 11:22-23

“I tell you=He will see=That they get justice quickly=However when=THE SON OF MAN COMES=

Will he FIND FAITH=On the earth?”                                                                                                                   Luke 18:8

“On arriving there=They gathered the Church together=and reported ALL=that God had done=

Through them=and HOW he opened=A DOOR OF FAITH=to the Gentiles”                                  Acts 14:27

 

IN today’s story/Gospel=The ONLY man=with type of FAITH=Is the actual bind man=and Jesus

Himself=SEEING WITH=THE EYES OF FAITH!=Can you see it?=The BLIND MAN=Knows that and=

He can SEE=that it is A MIRACLE=and KNOWS Jesus is not a sinner=He says=

“The man=IS A PROPHET”                                                                                                                                     John 9:17

“He replied’=’I have told you already=and you do NOT LISTEN=WHY do you want to hear it

Again?=Do you want to BECOME his DISCIPLES too?’”                                                                           John 9:27

 

HARDLY=Jesus’ persecutors=The Pharisees and religious leaders=Are BLINDED by their

Prejudices=Blinded by their jealousy=They are blinded=They have NO FAITH!=

“For we LIVE BY FAITH=Not by sight”                                                                                                2 Corinthians 5:7

“NOW FAITH is confidence=In what we HOPE for=and ASSURANCE about what we

DO NOT SEE”                                                                                                                                                       Hebrews 11:1

 

We must ADMIRE this BLIND MAN=and other people=who Received MIRACLES from Jesus=

And spoke up FOR Jesus=For it is OUR JOB=It is THE RESPONSIBILITY=Of all us Christians=To

Bring OTHERS to the FAITH!=by testifying to the TRUTH=Of the God of LOVE=and HIS SON!

 

In the NAMES=Of our MIRACLE WORKING=Wondrous Jesus=and his Father=Who is forever

LIVING=forever loving=and FOREVER MIRACLE WORKING TOO!
