~ Jesus Christ Is All-Knowing ~
General Comment
~ When Jesus saw there was always an appropriate reaction and in each case
we can learn from the event.
Today’s Scripture
~ “Now
as Jesus passed by, He saw a man who
was blind from birth. And His disciples
asked Him, saying, ‘Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was
born blind?’ Jesus answered, ‘Neither
this man nor his parents sinned, but that the works of God should be revealed
in him. I must work the works of Him who sent Me while it is day; the night
is coming when no one can work. As long as I am in the world, I am the light
of the world.’ When He had said these
things, He spat on the ground and made clay with the saliva; and He anointed
the eyes of the blind man with the clay.
And He said to him, ‘Go, wash in the pool of Siloam’ (which is
translated, Sent). So he went and
washed, and came back seeing. Therefore
the neighbors and those who previously had seen that he was blind said, ‘Is not this he who sat and
begged?’” (John 9:1-8).
Application ~ As
the Creator and Sustainer of the universe (Colossians 1:15-18) Jesus Christ is
omniscient (knows all things). He
brought physical light into the eyes of this man who was born blind. While on earth He was the light of the
world. He brought spiritual light to the lives of His followers. In His absence we are his lights to a dark
and needy world. Jesus said, “You are
the light of the world. A city that is
set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do
they light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, and it gives
light to all who are in the house. Let
your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify
your Father in heaven” (Matthew 5:14-16).
