Grace for your spirit July 10, 2008

And His disciples asked Him, "Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he would be born blind?" John 9:2

Many religious leaders in every generation have thought that all illnesses are a direct result of someone sinning. Job’s friends accused him, the Pharisees believed it, Jesus’ disciples wondered about it, and the health and wealth religious leaders of our day preach it. Jesus told His disciples neither had caused it by sin, but the glory of God would be seen because of it. Was He right? Well, this blind man could now see physically, and while they were all arguing the point, he was became able to see spiritually too. In verse 11, he called Jesus the man. In verse 17, he called Jesus a prophet, and by verse 38, He called Him Lord, and believed. Let’s cut through the arguing, and see spiritually that Jesus is Lord.

The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit
Philippians 4:23
