TODAY’S TOPIC: JESUS CARES FOR THE VULNERABLES
Opening Prayer: May my heart, O Lord, be receptive to your word as I meditate on it.
SCRIPTURE: JOHN 9:35-41
35 Jesus heard that they had cast him out; and when he had found him, he said unto him, Dost thou believe on the Son of God?
36 He answered and said, Who is he, Lord, that I might believe on him?
37 And Jesus said unto him, Thou hast both seen him, and it is he that talketh with thee.
38 And he said, Lord, I believe. And he worshipped him.
39 And Jesus said, For judgment I am come into this world, that they which see not might see; and that they which see might be made blind.
40 And some of the Pharisees which were with him heard these words, and said unto him, Are we blind also?
41 Jesus said unto them, If ye were blind, ye should have no sin: but now ye say, We see; therefore your sin remaineth.
Question(s) for Reflection
• Q2: Is there any example for me to follow or not to follow?
Outline For Scripture Union Daily Guide 15th February 2024
How does Jesus’ care for the man born blind challenge us (vs.35-38)? Jesus probably searched for him when He heard that he had been thrown out. People who are persecuted for their conviction about Jesus need our care. We need to be sensitive to their needs. For the first time after many days, we see Jesus revealing Himself to the man He healed. Notice that the man was sincere and did not claim to have known Jesus as the Son of man (v.36).
It is costly assumption for anyone to claim to be a Christian when they have not understood the new birth experience! Our faith in Christ Jesus should lead to true worship (v.38; See Romans 12:1-2). What example do we see in the Pharisees (v.40)? It is very dangerous for anyone to hear God’s word and allow selfishness and envy to choke their hearts such that it does not impact their lives.
Practice/Word Application
