John 9:1-3



John 9:1-3 And as Jesus passed by, he saw a man which was blind from his birth. And his disciples asked him, saying, Master, who did sin, this man, or his parents, that he was born blind? Jesus answered, Neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents: but that the works of God should be made manifest in him. The disciples were looking to blame someone for this man who was born blind. They asked which one had sinned. But Jesus reminded them that when someone has a problem, it is not always because someone has sinned. Let me ask you a question: In order for Jesus to perform a wonderful miracle and heal someone of blindness, what did Jesus first have to have? He had to have a blind person! God had allowed this poor man to be born blind so that someday, the great teacher, Jesus would be able to heal someone of their blindness! And God allows difficulties in our lives as well, so that He can show Himself to be our Great Savior! Jesus delights in solving problems. He loves to hear us coming to Him in prayer with our needs. He likes to help His dear children. Call on Him. He is ready to hear and to answer our prayers!
