Born Blind To See - John 9:1-3 (NKJV)

Scripture of the Day

John 9:1-3 (NKJV)

“Born Blind To See”

Now as JESUS passed by, HE saw a man who was blind from birth.  And HIS disciples asked HIM, saying, “Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?”  JESUS answered, “Neither this man nor his parents sinned, but that the works of GOD should be revealed in him.

If we see someone with bags under their eyes, we may think “Man . . . they need some sleep” or if we see someone who is very thin, we may think “They need to eat”  in both cases, we will assume the person did something to cause themselves to be in the situation they are in.  When you see homeless people or street beggars, we will assume they did not manage their money or lives well and now they are paying for their bad decisions!  The disciples were assuming the same thing about the blind man!  Someone had to do something to cause the man to be blind, but JESUS showed them that the man was born blind to see!  He was born blind for the purpose of GOD giving him sight!  This man had lived his whole life blind until he met JESUS!  And all of us will live our entire life blind if we never meet JESUS!  We were all born blind . . . because we were all born into sin!  But when we accept JESUS . . . the lost are found and the blind can see!
