Thoughts on the Gospel of John (75)

Jesus heard that they had cast him out; and when he had found him, he said to him, Do you believe in the Son of God? He answered and said, Who is he, Lord, that I may believe in him? And Jesus said to him, You have both seen him and it is he who is talking with you. Then he said, Lord, I believe! And he worshipped him.
John 9:35-38.

Thoughts on the Gospel of John (75)
On account of his fearless confession of Jesus Christ the man healed of his blindness was cast out by the rabbis; He was unacceptable for their school of doctrine. But he found refuge with the Son of God. When he was blind the Lord had found him and given him his sight. Now Jesus found him in his loneliness and brought him into the best fellowship that anyone can experience, that of the Son of God Himself.

"Do you believe in the Son of God?" This is a question for everyone, and it demands a clear answer. "He who believes in him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already" (John 3:18).

The one healed showed his readiness to believe, provided he knew who He was. Then the Lord revealed Himself. The "Man called Jesus" was not merely a prophet, but the Son of God Himself. How overpowering! As the Son of God He is a Person of the Deity and justifiably the object of faith and worship. So we read that the one healed paid Him homage.

What a moving story this is: the man who was a blind beggar now believed in Jesus and honoured Him as the Son of God. This is a spiritual occurrence: being transformed from the lack of direction in human thought and desires to the bright light of divine truth with the Son of God at its centre - something that hopefully will be repeated times without number.

ACCEPTED TIME 2

God is never too early and He is never too late. His timetable is set on purpose; the purpose is not only for your sake but also for His. In all things, His name shall be glorified. No doubt, He would have been glorified healing Lazarus of his sickness, but this can't compare to raising him from the dead after four...More
