Daytime Work John 9:1-4 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?” 3 “Neither this man nor his parents sinned,” said Jesus, “but this happened so that the work of God might be displayed in his life. 4 As long as it is day, we must do the work of him who sent me. Night is coming, when no one can work. 5 While I am in the world, I am the light of the world.” GOD is a planner. He knows what he wants to accomplish, how he will accomplish it and when he will cause it to happen. Does that disturb or comfort you? This story of Jesus’ healing the blind man should be a great comfort to you. God had created him to be blind for the great purpose of demonstrating his healing on this day. You might think that God is cruel to force a man to blindness for this one miracle in front of a few people. But in truth, God created this man blind to demonstrate his power to save you from sin’s darkness. In this healing, Jesus delivers an urgent message to you. “I can give you sight to see my love and forgiveness. I can give you sight to see Heaven’s eternal light.” Jesus came in the flesh into a dark world blind to Heaven’s eternal light. He shows his people how the light of his truth is a transforming and renewing power. And he is urgent to do his work. There is a limited time to turn blind eyes into seeing eyes. The Savior urgently acts, and he urgently calls you to his light. It’s True! See Jesus light and know the comfort of his healing.
