9th chapter John's gospel - What a picture - A man "born" blind and we discover this man was "ear-marked" before his birth for the Glory of God.
I won't go into detail of this wonderful story of the religious order of the day confronting GRACE or of human nature to bend with the "tide" of man.
What is worth seeing here is at the end of this chapter, when the man born blind was "thrown out" of the synagogue, a devastating blow in one's social status.
This man blind at birth, touched by ONE he knew not, challenged by the Order of Self Righteous Ones, left to defend himself as his parent's were afraid to "stand" with him , now alone, seeing things which he did not know.
Now when JESUS heard they cast him out -- HE found him -- not enough that The CHRIST touched his eyes, this HEALER sought him , looked for him and in verse 35 says HE found him ---
Is this not true with us, pilgrims -- HE found us , HE sought us out , Is this not a SAVIOUR worth serving.
What tenderness,
We need that tenderness in our everyday lives so that HE may be seen.
I need that in my life -
