‘I Do Know One Thing.’
John 9:17-25.
a)
John 9:17. The blind man
who was healed said about Jesus Christ that He was a Prophet.
b)
John 9:18. The Jews did
not believe the blind man who was healed so they sent for his parents.
c)
John 9:19-20. The Jews
questioned the parents and they confirmed that he was born blind.
d)
John 9:21-23. The parents
were filled with fear of the Jewish religious leaders so they told them to ask
the son directly. Anyone who confessed that Jesus was the Christ would be
excommunicated from the Synagogue.
e)
John 9:24. Again the
Jewish religious leaders intensively questioned the blind man who was healed.
f)
John 9:25. The reply of
the blind man who was healed:-
1-I do not know if the man who healed me is a sinner or not.
2-I do know one thing.
3-I was blind.
4-Now I can see.
(Through this QT: I Do Know One Thing, I can see the fear that
religious leaders can create in people’s hearts. This is universal, and covers
all religions including Christianity. It is something that the Church should
deal with too)
‘We Should Not Cause Anyone To Stumble.’
Matthew 18:6.
a)
These are the Words of
Jesus Christ.
b)
If anyone causes one of
the little ones who believe in Him to stumble.
c)
It would be better for
them to have a heavy mill stone hung around their neck.
d)
Then to be drowned in the
sea.
e)
Than to face the Lord’s
Judgment.
(This
Second one: We Should Not Cause Anyone To Stumble, makes me think about how
much does the local Church really care for their Sunday School? If they did,
they would train their Teachers well)
Chris.
We should
not cause anyone to stumble. This is something that most Churches are notorious
for, causing people to stumble. Please note: I do not say all, but I say most.
So many good people have left Churches because they have been hurt, offended,
abused or incorrectly thrust into responsibilities that they could not handle.
We should remember this Teaching of Jesus Christ. We should not cause anyone to
stumble.
