Sight by Faith

John Ch 9 was a really good read, weaving the same thread of Jesus asking us to open our eyes and truly see. Jesus Christ is the light and He continually ask thus far in John that those who believe will be granted sight, eternal life that cannot die out. It's amazing that Jesus has an open invitation to any and the only requirement is "To Believe"...

How unfortunate we live in a society where we are taught to question things, approach them with skepticism, receive advice with a grain of salt. No womder God made His Gospel soo simple...in fact too simple that it surpassed the wise to comprehend that Yes!!!...it is that simple...the only requirement is believeing in the Son of God born of a virgin Mary, who died on the cross, rose on the third day and has been given authority over every power in earth and in heaven. (Romans 10:9-10).

One of the most powerful statements I believe in John 9 is when Jesus asked the man who's sight had been restored "Do you believe in the Son of Man?" (v.35) and the once blind man said " Tell me so that I may believe in him." (v.36). God had prepared the man's heart to receive a relationship offering through Jesus' act of restoring the blind man's sight. But the man still had the choice of saying "Yes God, I believe"...Kinda reminds me of bringing a horse to a stream, you cant force it to drink. It's choice. I'm thankful for a God who gives us the choice between life and death, hoping we would chose the former and make His heart glad...and Him being moved to reward us. God honestly just wants a relationship with us...being involved in ALL areas of our lives and being given the proper respect by allowing Him use us for His pleasure. That is total surrender, but the beauty of it is our God is a GOOD GOD. He ALWAYS has our Best interest at heart. His plans for us are for Good never to harm us (Jeremiah 29:11).
