Healing and Salvation in the sent one!
There was a man born blind. The disciples asked Jesus, “Teacher, whose sin caused him to be blind.” Jesus’s response: God’s power or glory might be seen at work in him. “While I am in the world, I am the Light of the World.” John 9:5.
Jesus then spat on the ground and made some mud, rubbed it on the man’s eyes and said, “Go and wash your face in the pool of Siloam.”(Siloam means Sent). The man went, washed and came back seeing. John 9:7. Hallelujah! The blind sees but many who sees the miracle were blinded from seeing God. They declared Jesus as sinner for the day was a Sabbath day!
On being questioned again and again, the exasperated man who has been healed announced: “I don not know if he is a sinner or not, but one thing I do know: I was blind, and now I see.”John 9:25.
Well friends! The blind man not only got his sight but sees and believed in the Son of Man. JESUS CHRIST is the Son of Man, God’s only begotten Son, the ‘Sent One’ the ‘Messiah’. We all humanity has lost our spiritual sight and are blinded by Satan. No longer in a position to see ourself. Only CHRIST can heal us into seeing or opening up our spiritual eyes!
Mud or Dust is our original identity. God moulded an image from clay, breathed in life into Adam. Disobedience or sin cut off the link between man and God: Spiritual Blindness has set in. Only a ‘Sent One’ can restore that link. And JESUS CHRIST is that link. John 3:16.
God is HOLY. God is LOVE. Man is the crown of his creation: moulded lovingly with his own image and likeness to be his temple reflecting joy, happiness and glory. Sin and disobedience spoiled the plan but JESUS CHRIST is GOD’S way back to restoring man back to its prestine GLORY.
All our sins and shame and shortcomings all forgiven and forgotten in LOVE and counted HOLY and Righteous with the perfect sacrifice of JESUS CHRIST at the Cross once and for all. Come surrender to Him and be free from the spiritual blindness. The world and all its riches are going to past away but the words of God will remain forever.
Well do you say the end time stories has been for ages and has never come to past. And that tommorow will remain and a new dawn awaits us. True, alot of people in the past too quoted the same line and they are no more! Life is short. Make it count by taking JESUS CHRIST who has no sin but died a sinners death for you and me and come out victorious over death and sin. And HE alife and is coming soon!
Jesus Heals a Man Born Blind. John 9.
