Day 12
Read John 9:35-41. On Day 4 we read the earlier part of John 9 in which we learn about Jesus healing the man born blind. In today’s passage Jesus is having a conversation with some religious leaders about the blind man and his healing, not willing themselves to believe that Jesus had sufficient power to do such a miracle. Because of their stubborn hearts and unwillingness to believe, Jesus referred to the religious leaders as “blind” themselves.
BELIEVE
The Pharisees in John 9 were insistent that Jesus could not have the power to heal blind eyes. Only God could do such a miracle. So, they questioned the formerly blind man twice; they questioned his parents. Yet they could not disprove that Jesus had done something unexplainable to them. Don’t you want Jesus to do something unexplainable in our church? Jesus is the One who can do it! Only Jesus! Do you believe?
PRAY…
Lord Jesus, honestly, my prayers have often been without true faith. But today, I renounce my own “blindness;” I turn away from my “blindness;” I embrace Your mighty power. You can do anything! I believe! You can walk on water, bring water from a rock, part a river, and even a sea! You can raise the dead, and You can breathe life into dry bones! Jesus, do what only You can do in our church for Your honor and Your glory. In Jesus’ Name, Amen!
