11 Tishri 5766 The Power of Knowledge, a CONVINCING Argument!
John 9:39-41 NIV
Jesus said, "For judgment I have come into this world, so that the blind will see and those who see will become blind." Some Pharisees who were with him heard him say this and asked, "What? Are we blind too?" Jesus said, "If you were blind, you would not be guilty of sin; but now that you claim you can see, your guilt remains.
Christ Jesus spoke many times about gaining knowledge concerning our guilt of sin and receiving forgiveness through HIM for that sin.
Even today, there are those who, just as the Pharisees in HIS day, are looking for any reason that would release them from their burden which is associated with their sin.
Although Christ proclaimed HIMSELF openly, as the only WAY to receive this forgiveness, many today still are blind to HIM and their guilt of sin remains with them.
Having acknowledged that sin exists and we are sinners, any attempt other than accepting Christ Jesus and HIS forgiveness, then this blindness mentioned by Jesus is either, REMOVED and we are able to SEE HIM and receive HIS forgiveness through knowledge gained by Holy Spirit,
or we continue in our guilt, remaining blind, and continue searching hopelessly without ever seeing Christ as the Son of Jehovah God, the Almighty Savior and the Everlasting Prince of Peace!
Father, I will Praise YOU forever,
I was blind and ignorant, but NOW I SEE!
Seeing YOUR Love for me,
that while I was still groping helplessly in sin,
blind to YOUR Truth,
Christ Jesus died for me!!
I have received more Knowledge of YOU,
and have gained my sight,
because I accepted HIM by Faith,
as my only HOPE for Eternal Life!!!
To HIM be ALL Glory and Honor!!! Amen
