Sunday, May 22nd - John 9:1-33

Good Evening!

I hope and pray you have all had a wonderful Lord's Day!  As for me, I have had a great day and a wonderful weekend!  The weather was wonderful and even with the storms this afternoon, I saw God's handiwork!  The lightening was intense and beautiful at the same time.  This coming from a person that isn't real fond of storms.

Our passage today in John talks about Jesus healing the blind man.  It talks about being about the work that God the Father sent Jesus to do.  He is the Light of the World!!
Did you notice that the blind man participated in his healing?  Jesus placed the mud on his eyes and then told him to go and wash in the pool of Siloam.  The blind man was immediately obedient and went and washed and went away seeing!
The healing was then investigated and throughout the questioning the blind man repeated the truth, "...one thing I know, I was blind, but now I see!"  He stuck to the facts and remained persistent in that he had been healed and now he could see!

Let us always look to the truth and not try and make something wrong out of something good!  God still heals today.  He continues to accept those that are unlovely, broken, sinners, etc.  He continues to love and cherish and call the "surely nots" and make them "so thens".  For those of you that didn't get to hear Mike's sermon today, take a look at Acts 11: 1-18.  Pay particular attention to verse 8 where he writes, "Surely not" and again in verse 18 where it is written, "So then, God has even granted the Gentiles repentance unto life."

I love y'all and wish you a good evening and a good night's rest! 

Blessings!
