Today's Verse: John 9:3 (KJV)

Let's ask God to help us view people through the eyes of Jesus so that we will see them as someone in whom the work of God needs to be displayed. When Jesus and his followers approached a man who was blind from birth, the disciples assumed that this misfortune had happened because someone had sinned. Jesus saw their labeling of the man as dehumanizing to the man and a dismissal of his value as a person because they thought he had sinned or his parents had. So, Jesus taught them, and if we pay attention, he teaches us to see a person's hurt as our opportunity and responsibility to bring God's grace to someone in need. So, what is this work of God we are to help display in people's lives? Jesus had answered that question earlier in his ministry: "The work of God is this: to believe in the one he has sent" (John 6:28-29) - Jesus!
