He answered and
said, “Whether He is a sinner or not I do not know. One thing I know; that
though I was blind, now I see”. John 9:25
When Jesus Christ entered
the world, biblical scholars didn’t know how to receive Him. He came to fulfill
the prophecies in the Old Testament and the Pharisees (who lived by the Jewish
religious laws) tried to discredit Jesus and His healing power.
Today’s verse comes
from the story about Jesus healing a blind man, on the Sabath. Man, did that
shake up those Pharisees and their religious laws and man-made policies. They
accused Jesus of being a sinner for healing on the Sabath. They doubted the healing
of this man’s sight, so much so they questioned him over and over (John 9:13-34),
and even brought in the man’s parents to confirm he was actually blind from
birth. All the facts revealed he had been healed by Jesus Christ. Well, the Pharisees
wouldn’t have it and they cast this man out.
Moving through time
to today. Many to this day still don’t see the evidence of God and His Son, Jesus
Christ. Even though the evidence is real and the truth before them, they are
blinded to the truth. Maybe you are in that group of people and have doubts
about God’s existence. I challenge you to take time to read the bible. As you
read, keep an open mind to the realities of God’s love for mankind and what Jesus
Christ did for you and all of mankind by making intercession for our sins. If you
still doubt, just look around you at the beauty of this world and the intricacies
of your body. God created you in His image (Genesis 1:26)
For we walk by
faith, not by sight. 2 Corinthians 5:7
Belief in God doesn’t
come from what you see, but by faith in what you don’t’ see. My prayer is God
will open your eyes to the truth of His existence and His calling to save your soul.
God bless!
