The Man Born Blind

July 7 – The man born blind – John 9

                This is our third day discovering the wealth of truth contained in it.  Today we will learn six more life lessons from this chapter.

1.       The man started by believing that Jesus was a prophet.  Even when he told the story a second time he was not fully believed until his parents confirmed it. 

2.       His parents refuse to verify that Jesus healed their son.  Like so many they were afraid of peer pressure.  Never allow the opinions of others to determine your faith.

3.       The world has its own rules and disciples which the Pharisees were.  The world had no idea who Jesus was and is.  Even when a man born blind is healed they do not believe it. 

4.       We learn that God listen to the godly and does what they ask.

5.       Jesus can do nothing and neither can we if we are not followers of God. 

6.       The world reacts violently to a person that follows God.  There is a price to pay to follow Christ but any price we pay is nothing compare to the riches we shall receive in Christ.
