JESUS CAN GIVE LIGHT TO ANY DARKENED HEART

John 9:1 as he went along, he saw a man blind from birth. 2 His disciples asked him, “Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?”   “Neither this man nor his parents sinned,” said Jesus, “but this happened so that the works of God might be displayed in him. 4 As long as it is day, we must do the works of him who sent me. The night is coming, when no one can work. 5 While I am in the world, I am the light of the world.”  6 After saying this, he spit on the ground, made some mud with the saliva, and put it on the man’s eyes. 7 “Go,” he told him, “wash in the Pool of Siloam” (this word means “Sent”). So the man went and washed, and came home seeing.

Christ deals with each of us differently, just like the man that was blind from birth He gave him sight; so people could see the Father work through Him, but like the Pharisees, some of us are still blind.  To follow Jesus means not to walk in darkness and He choose a man that could not see; who has lived in darkness all his life, but now he sees.  How glad I am that our Savior is the light of the world and can come into any darkened heart that wants to know Him and give light.

Father open our hearts and baptize us in the Holy Spirit so Your light can shine in us.  Lord, open our eyes to the miracles in Your teachings; so we are not strangers to You here on earth.  Lord, we know You are the Son of God, and forgive us for rejecting You; we knew not what we were doing.  Lord, free us from the dark night of death, let the light of resurrection dawn within our hearts; to bring us to the radiance of eternal life.  We ask this through our Lord Jesus Christ, who lives, and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit in us, forever and ever. Amen
