Jesus is Essential
John 9:6–12: When He had said these things, He spat on the ground and made clay with the saliva; and He anointed the eyes of the blind man with the clay. And He said to him, “Go, wash in the pool of Siloam” (which is translated, Sent). So he went and washed, and came back seeing. Therefore the neighbors and those who previously had seen that he was blind said, “Is not this he who sat and begged?” Some said, “This is he.” Others said, “He is like him.” He said, “I am he.” Therefore they said to him, “How were your eyes opened?” He answered and said, “A Man called Jesus made clay and anointed my eyes and said to me, ‘Go to the pool of Siloam and wash.’ So I went and washed, and I received sight.” Then they said to him, “Where is He?” He said, “I do not know.”
Salvation is really a simple matter. It is coming to the Lord Jesus and experiencing the power of God.
This man hadn’t even seen Jesus and yet the Lord Jesus had opened his eyes. The important thing for us is not to see Jesus but to believe in Him. 1
Walking with Jesus
When was the last time you shared with a friend or family member your personal experience, of when Jesus opened your eyes to His saving grace? Can you prayerfully consider sharing your testimony today? When was the last time you shared your testimony with your own children?
All that the Father gives Me will come to Me, and the one who comes to Me I will by no means cast out. John 6:37
Jesus is still opening spiritually blind eyes, and revealing His glory.
Praying
Lord, thank You for being ever present all the time.
