This is a picture of two people (Jan Day and Joette Webb) loving their neighbors by working at Orange Christian Services. Volunteering shows the love Christ has for His world in our hearts. Do you believe? Can you see?
John 9:6 When he had said this, he spat on the ground and made mud with the saliva and spread the mud on the man’s eyes,
9:7 saying to him, “Go, wash in the pool of Siloam” (which means Sent). Then he went and washed and came back able to see.
Jesus made mud with His spit. He rubbed it on the blind mans eyes. The blind man washed the mud off and could see. A miracle happened to a man who had to beg to be able to survive. I guess given those circumstances most people would have wanted to experience Jesus’ gift of sight. Jesus is the Son of God and was able to heal people of their physical ailments and if we read the scriptures we see he was able to give heart sight to some but not to all. Some accepted Jesus as the Son of God and believed He was the Messiah. Some did not. Even though many of those who witnessed His miracles believed many did not. I guess seeing is not believing. People get blinded by their own pride, power and beliefs which keep them from being able to see the change that is right before their eyes. A change that means a new way of living life. Jesus came to tell all that using the law to judge a life lived well was in no way comparable to living a life where we are all challenged to put God first and our neighbors a very close second. We who believe God and His Word live our lives trying to be the best we can be knowing that our God sees our hearts. Love is the way of Jesus Christ and love is what God sees in our hearts. Love God, Love Jesus as your Savior and allow the Holy Spirit to lead you down the paths of righteousness in loving your neighbors.
Pray for Jesus’ love to always be in your hearts, Love is His law for the world,
God’s Peace and Blessings to all,
