‘Belief In
The Lord Is Important.’
John
9:35-41.
a)
John 9:35. Jesus went to
look for the healed blind beggar who had been thrown out by the Pharisees.
b)
John 9:35. When He found
him Jesus asked him if he Believed in the Son of Man.
c)
John 9:36. The healed
blind man wanted to know Who the Son of Man was so that he could Believe in
Him.
d)
John 9:37. Jesus revealed
Himself to him.
e)
John 9:38. The healed
blind man responded:-
1-
Lord, I Believe.
2-
With Worship.
3-
He knelt down before Jesus.
f)
John 9:39. Jesus
explained a part of His Mission to the healed blind man. He said that He has come into the world to exercise judgment so
that those who don't see can see and those who see will become blind.
g)
John 9:40. The Pharisees
that were around Jesus at that time asked Jesus about their condition. They really
thought that they were not blind.
h)
John 9:41. Jesus told
them that if they were blind they would not be guilty of sin but because they
said that they could see their sin and guilt remained.

Second one shows me that Belief In The Lord Is Important)
Chris.
The healed
blind man wanted to know Who the Son of Man was. This indicates a real healing
taking place in His Life. We should not glory in miracles but rather in the God
Who can perform them. The healed blind man did not just stay in the ‘I am
healed’ mode, he really wanted to know the Lord.
