John 9 - 10 (24th October) - Li Juan

Jesus Heals a Man Born Blind
There are things which happen to us which we feel so puzzled by and we questioned God “Why?”. Sometimes, these things happen so that the work of God can be displayed in your life through these circumstances.

The Pharisees Investigate the Healing
They questioned the healing power and miracles Jesus did. The man who was healed was so full of faith, so certain that Jesus is from God. “If this man was not from God, he could do nothing.”

Spiritual Blindness
Physical blindness is infinitely times far better than spiritual blindness. Once our spiritual eyes are blinded, we can no longer see the truth and would not be guilty of any sin. If you feel spiritually handicapped, ask God to open up your eyes so that you can see, open up your ears so that you can hear, soften your heart so that you will be receptive and teachable once again.

The Shepherd and His Flock
Jesus is like the good shepherd; the good shepherd can lay down his life for the sheep, Jesus died on the cross to cleanse us of our sins and to redeem us. Do we know Jesus like how the sheep recognizes the shepherd’s voice? Take time to tune in to Jesus’ voice, to recognize the Holy Spirit, to identify God’s presence.
