Listening and Seeing

Listening and Seeing

Scripture Reading: John 9

Focus Verse: John 9: 27  "Look!  the man exclaimed.  I told you once. Didn't you listen? Why do you want to hear it again?  Do you want to become His disciples, too?"

Just because someone hears you does not mean they are listening to you.  Someone can act like they are listening without really understanding you.  People who lack humility lack the ability to listen well.  Pride will prevent many people from true listening and accepting the truth.

In our story from John chapter nine, the Pharisees had a hard time believing that Jesus had healed this man born blind.  Satan has hindered many people from hearing the truth.  Although this man was healed of physical blindness, the bigger problem in the world is spiritual blindness. 

Let us be sensitive to the people in the world that are still spiritually blind.  We know the one that can heal their blindness.  Jesus wants to use you to help heal them.  Pray for those that refuse to be helped.  God still wants them to be saved, before it's too late.
