The man whom Jesus cured of blindness, who was blind
since birth, did not just receive his physical eyesight only. His spiritual eyes
were opened so that he could see what the Pharisee's were up to. His spiritual ears
were opened so that he could hear what they were up to. He clearly understood
what they were trying to do and he wanted no part of it.
He was given the boldness to confront, challenge, and
question, the religious authority that had control over the children of
Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob (his name was changed by God to Israel ). He
risked his own future and security. He sounded too much like Jesus for his own
good, so they excommunicated him.
He also received saving faith such that he fell down
at Jesus' feet and worshipped Him as Lord and Savior. Knowing what he was
delivered from. And even though he knew not where, trusting where he would be delivered
to.
Just a touch from Jesus Christ will turn your whole
life around, and you will end up at His feet having done His will and committed
to Him.
When you get to heaven...
Ask Martha who poured a bottle of expensive oil
lavishly on Jesus' head and feet.
Or ask John who laid his head on Jesus' breast because
he loved Him so.
Or ask Peter who time after time became over zealous,
in an attempt to please Him, and show his commitment without fear of being
wrong.
And ask many others who rejoiced at His coming.
We are going to have a lot of things to talk about
when we get there !
