John 9
Inspired thots
Such a beautiful chapter; exciting and adrenalin flowing with a heated debate over who Jesus is, standing up for what is fact and truth.
Just one work of mercy can cause such uproar... all because unbelief blocks the path.
Praise the Lord for the healed blind man to stand up on the truth; he was not swayed by the intimidation; he even dared to retaliate in words! Such was the deep impact of the healing on him. Perhaps it was the total blindness to the world since birth that has shielded him from its flaws and influence, that when he was healed, he was unabated to stand up to what he first received. Truly, the first impression makes the greatest impact.
Parents emulate the best example for their children. From this chapter, the healed blind man's parents were also tough nuts to crack; though they may be inwardly worried about their status, they answered logically and stood up to the Pharisees, whom one can see are unreasonable in throwing their weight around just because of their higher status. As Jesus said, 'dont lord over others'.
Humility hurts no one.
A daily time out with the Lord Jesus, to hear Him speak to ME. I am asking the Lord to share HIS thoughts with ME, to teach me more about Himself, and how I can be drawn closer to Him... for 'His thoughts are not my thoughts and neither are His ways my ways' Isaiah 55:8,9. This blog is not a theological exegesis. This blog is to record down the INSIGHTS & INSPIRATIONS of God's Word to me; speaking LIFE into my life for Abundant life! :)
