The man we met in this chapter was born blind; he had never seen the beauty of God’s creation or the faces of his loved ones. When Jesus arrived on the scene, everything changed, and the man was made to see. However, the greatest miracle was not the opening of his eyes but the opening of his heart to the Savior. It cost him everything to confess Jesus as the Son of God, but he was willing to do it. Are we willing to do the same?

Jesus’s purpose, the reason why He came, was to show us how much God loves us and to save us by an act of supreme self-sacrifice. But in order to be saved, we must put our trust in Jesus. As Jesus says, “Unless you believe that I am he, you will die in your sins. If you haven’t placed your full faith and trust in Jesus, the time is now. You don’t know that you have tomorrow, so put your trust in Jesus today and follow Him.

LOOK:
The Law was given to reveal sin (Rom. 3:20), and we must be condemned by the Law before we can be cleansed by God’s grace. Law and grace do not compete with each other; they complement each other. Nobody was ever saved by keeping the Law, but nobody was ever saved by grace who was not first indicted by the Law. There must be conviction before there can be conversion.
Christ’s gracious forgiveness should not be seen as a license to keep on sinning. “Go, and sin no more!” was our Lord’s counsel. Let’s pray that God’s forgiveness and compassion toward us motivates us to live a holy and obedient life to the glory of God.

You cannot help but feel sorry for the people described in this chapter, people who responded to Jesus in the wrong ways. His half-brothers responded with disbelief; various people responded with debate; and the result was division. Had they willingly received the truth, and had they acted with sincere obedience, they would have ended up at the feet of Jesus, confessing Him as Messiah and Son of God.
But people today commit the same blunder and permit their prejudices and superficial evaluations to blind them to the truth. Don’t let it happen to you!

LOOK:
If we really seek God’s will, then we will not worry over who gets the glory. All truth is God’s truth and God alone deserves the glory for what He has taught us. No teacher or preacher can take the credit for what only can come from God. If he does go after the glory, then it is proof that his teaching is self-generated and not received from God.
