    For Those Who Seek - John 9:39-41

    Jesus said, "I came into this world so that the world could be judged. I came so that blind people could see. And I came so that people who think they see will become blind." Some of the Pharisees were near Jesus. They heard Jesus say this. They asked, "What? Are you saying that we are blind too?" Jesus said, "If you were really blind (without understanding), you would not be guilty of sin. But you say that you see (know what you are doing). So you are guilty." (ERV) Full Text

    Key Thought

    Jesus is the Savior for those who are seeking God's truth. As long as we recognize that we don't have all the answers and that we need his grace and healing then God is ready to bless us super-abundantly. However, if we let arrogance capture our hearts and think that we are important, then we had better beware. Pride and arrogance often get in the way of truth. This is never more true than in matters of spiritual truth. Let's openly recognize that we need God's help to discern the truth.

    Father, without your help, I would not be able to know the truth. I confess that my wisdom is but a grain of sand on the seashore of your wisdom. Thank you for placing Jesus in such an accessible place for me to find him and receive his gracious light. Please give me wisdom to live for you. In Jesus' name. Amen.

    Today's Verses in Context


    Jesus heard that the Jewish leaders had forced the man to leave. Jesus found the man and said to him, "Do you believe in the Son of Man ?" The man asked, "Who is the Son of Man, sir? Tell me, so I can believe in him!" Jesus said to him, "You have already seen him. The Son of Man is the one talking with you now." The man answered, "Yes, I believe, Lord!" Then the man bowed and worshiped Jesus. Jesus said, "I came into this world so that the world could be judged. I came so that blind people could see. And I came so that people who think they see will become blind." Some of the Pharisees were near Jesus. They heard Jesus say this. They asked, "What? Are you saying that we are blind too?" Jesus said, "If you were really blind (without understanding), you would not be guilty of sin. But you say that you see (know what you are doing). So you are guilty."
