As Jesus was walking along,
He saw a man who had been blind from birth. “Rabbi,” His disciples asked Him,
“why was this man born blind? Was it because of his own sins or his parents’
sins?” “It was not because of his sins or his parents’ sins,” Jesus answered.
“This happened so the power of God could be seen in him…. Then He spit on the
ground, made mud with the saliva, and spread the mud over the blind man’s eyes.
He told him, “Go wash yourself in the pool of Siloam” (Siloam means “sent”). So
the man went and washed and came back seeing!
John 9:1–7 NLT
I love how our Lord Jesus
is such a loving and practical God. When there is a problem,
He goes straight to the solution.
Before Jesus stepped in to
heal the man born blind, His disciples were caught up in uncovering whose sin
had made the man blind. Jesus, on the other hand, was interested only in using
His power to give the poor man sight!
The same way Jesus didn’t
get sucked into the “blame game” is the same way He doesn’t want you to. So
don’t ask what or whose sin caused your sickness. Forget about what you should
or shouldn’t have done or why it happened. Be preoccupied instead with your
solution—Jesus Christ, who through the cross has removed every sin in your life
and who wants to work a miracle in your body!
