Trouble

This crazy Cat never let a little trouble stop Him !!

John 9

Healing the Man Born Blind

¹As He passed by, He saw a man blind from birth.

²And His disciples asked Him, "Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he would be born blind?"

³Jesus answered, "It was neither that this man sinned, nor his parents; but it was so that the works of God might be displayed in him.

⁴"We must work the works of Him who sent Me as long as it is day; night is coming when no one can work.

⁵"While I am in the world, I am the Light of the world."

Trouble seems to be everywhere we go and around everything we try to accomplish and as a result I sometimes find my self asking (as did the disciples), who sinned. Then I hear these words in my head .."it is so the works of God might be displayed in and through these things or TROUBLES" ...( If you read the rest of this passage you"ll see who the hard headed ones were..all that commotion over one blind man being healed)...I wonder if a lot of the stuff we face in our lives is not just so that the power of God might be revealed in us, so that we too, can be rejected by the world. Jesus, the light of the world, reflected in the actions of His people. In times of happiness, and in times of trouble. I guess it is worth it to go though the blindness and through all the questions, all the ridicule and disappointments to find the Son of God waiting on us. He is out in the world waiting on us to do the work of the Father ! Just think, the next time this guy came up to someone blind could you imagine the conversation. A conversation about the man he knew named Jesus...this was about the only thing he did know. Do you think he knew and understood that "I was once blind, but now I see", or do you think he would just pass the blind guy by, not saying a word about the man that had healed him. I'm sure he could have come up with some good excuses, but can you hide a light in a dark room? There are so many times that, we do so little with what God has done for us, all because of a little TROUBLE. This would really be a great sermon. Maybe one day after I finish writing it or we are living it...well, either way, God's got to Finish it.
