Night Is Coming

 







John 9:1-5

As he went along, he saw a man blind from birth. His disciples asked him, "Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?" "Neither this man nor his parents sinned," said Jesus, "but this happened so that the work of God might be displayed in his life. As long as it is day, we must do the work of him who sent me. Night is coming, when no one can work. While I am in the world, I am the light of the world."

The work of God brings glory to the LORD. There will come a time soon, when no one wants to give the glory due to God but will only seek glory for themselves. Why else do they fight and quarell? Read the rest of the chapter and you will find out the reason for their fighting and quarelling. You will find the answer to why the Pharisees were angry about the healing of the blind beggar above. They were not satisfied that the Lord Jesus Christ had healed the blind beggar on the Sabbath. They felt that they had the authority over who does what on the Sabbath. Little did these foolish men realise that they were facing the Lord of the Sabbath. The 'Lord of the Sabbath' means He is the same God who created the whole heaven, earth and everything in it in six days and rested on the seventh day as Sabbath. Another words. He created the Sabbath.

They were fighting and quarelling over this to bring glory to themselves that they were the defenders of the Sabbath.  This time around, they were meeting the Lord of the Sabbath and they did not know it? They were the defenders of the Pharisees sect. They were more concerned about what practices they were defending rather than caring for the blind beggar. They asked, why did the blind beggar stop his begging? They were told that he was healed by the Lord Jesus Christ.  Now, the very important issue to them was, why did the Lord heal the blind beggar on the Sabbath? How foolish of someone who claims to know God. Instead, musn't they be grateful to the Lord of the Sabbath that He had cared for and healed one of their fellow men when no one else could all these years? To break the bondage of this man who was born blind to bring glory to the LORD. The Pharisees were worried here that they will not get any glory out of this. They did not like the idea of Christ bringing the glory to the Heavenly Father with this impossible act of healing the blind beggar by opening his eyes to see again with saliva mixed with mud rubbed on his eyes and washed in the pool of Siloam. Just ponder to yourselves, how degradingly unhuman were they in fighting and quarelling over foolish things for themselves?

Christ must be formed in you....

Welcome to the diligenthands of the Christformation prophet

Welcome to this prophetic writings blog that warns and saves lives from eternal condemnation as a result of continual sinning. Overcoming sinful living is the objective of the prophet. Diligently writing down of every timely warning to avoid catastrophic disaster by the fruit of our sinful living.
