Discuss John 9 Page 7

The Greatness of God manifests to all humankind.

GOD IS WORKING IN OUR LIVES WE MUST BE GRATEFUL AND UNDERSTAND THAT GOD IS GOOD.

People 's opinion about JESUS to me do not matter, I know the difference betweet the darkness I dwelt and the light HE had brought me in,Taste the LORD, HE is good, glory.

Blessed is the man that recognises the LORDs handiwork in loving miracles and answered prayers! Look with your eyes and believe with your heart and see the wonders from our Father. Thank you Jesus. Amen

To my understanding this man didn 't know Jesus in a personal way and therefore did not know Him in His Deity But the man knew that once he was blind but now he sees . As I was once a sinner but now that Jesus touched me I see now . Praise God !!!!

Yes if we don 't believe in the Lord we are blind.He the only one can give us our sight .Thank You Jesus Christ Amen

the sabbath is very clear to rest if some one is in need we can not pass them by we can still find time to rest with ! GOD on the sabbath

The blind man at right place at the right time you kown with the clay only nothing would happen but with Jesus in it it can work faith comes when the blind man walk off to wash his face faith cause miracle to happen whatsoever the Lord told you to do do it will bring miracle it look foolish in your eye but he use the foolish things of the world to confound the wise

The blind man at right place at the right time you kown with the clay only nothing would but with in it it can work faith comes when the blind walk off to wash his face faith cause miracle to happen whatsoever the Lord told you to do it can bring miracle it look foolish in your eye but he use the foolish things of the world to confound the wise

In 9 39 Jesus says for judgment he came here for those that might not see will see and those that see might be blind What I take from this is try to help those that might not believe believe and for those that already believe to help them not to sin It seems that Jesus knows he is already going to die for our sins Correct me if I m wrong

WHAT A GRATE HONOR TO BE ONE OF GODS ELECT CHOSEN BY GOD WHILE STILL IN HIS MOTHERS WOOM FOR A DEVINE PURPOSE BORN BLIND THAT OTHERS MIGHT SEE

How can you not believe in Jesus christ with that remarkable healing Jesus did for the man that was born blind. If that was me I would've followed Jesus immediately. My wife and I are going through a situation like that with our new born baby girl Hudson. she was born with a cornea over her right eye, and her left eye was closed due to the fact of the eye ball being
smaller.the doctors say she's going to need surgery, but I have faith and believe trust in God and Lord Jesus Christ because he has the last say so. So can you all do Hudson my wife and I a favor and keep us in you all prayer.MayGod bless you and your family in Jesus name. HAPPY NEW YEARS , be safe and stay positive and keep God first.

The first interesting thing is they ask who had sin that this man was born blind. If he were "born blind" how could he have sinned? Did he sin prior to birth? The second is the Pharisees rather than rejoicing in a man's good fortune to be blessed with eyesight seek to find wrong doing instead. Don't you think they know it had to be Jesus who performed such a miracle? Of course because they had already threatened people that they would be put out of the synogogue for saying such a thing was done by Christ/Jesus. They would rather fight fault in Him than to rejoice over a healing.

The Pharisees were not interested in the wellfare of the people they were interested in money and power and flaunting their status over those who they deemed below them. This is why they sought to kill Jesus and to trap Him in a lie. He reflected their sinful hearts to them and they didn't like being reminded of their own pride and arrogance.

I also find it interesting that this man's parents are more concerned with being thrown out of the temple which would reflect poorly on their status in society rather than rejoice over their son gaining his eyesight. Also, if he was known for begging then they were not caring for him in their own home.

FOR GOD MIRACLE TO BE DONE IN OUR LIFE,SOMETHING MOST HAPPEN TO SHOW THAT GOD ALMIGHTY IS ALWAYS AT WORK IN OUR LIFE.

JOHN 9:4 I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work.

Man is defined as MORNING, AFTERNOON, AND NIGHT.
MORNING: when we came into this temporal world.
AFTERNOON: period of toiling, acquisition of wealth, position, fame, material posessions, etc....
NIGHT: death, old age, end of toiling, period were one faces the Judgement of Christ.

THE BIG QUESTION:
What work are u doing: Good or bad. Whom are u working for: Christ or the Devil. Are u Serving God or u are being Served, Are u wasting Time or u are Investing Time. Remember, U are only a custodian to whatever God has put in your hand, God owns it. The life you live, it is not you that lives, But Christ that lives in you, moves in you, and in Him you consists. DONT' SHARE GODS GLORY WITH HIM, SERVE GOD WITH ALL THAT HE HAS GIVEN TO YOU.

God can change someone's life completely,for those arround you may even quarel about you,they may not even recognise you when God stretches his hand on you!! They get confused!

Salvation comes through our faith in Jesus Christ.
Not the works.

I find it interesting that the Pharisees say they know that God talked with Moses. They may have read it or been told it but were not themselves there. They had to take it on faith. Why then could they not take it on faith what Jesus told them?

its too much i realise d power of d living God. our testomony wil disoganis our enemy in jesus name

I love this chapter, because it shows what happens after a person is saved. How they know more about the truth of God,and shows how God makes the wise simple and the simple wise. I love it when he tells the pharisee, 'will you also be his disciples?' and starts teaching the pharisees and scribes. I could picture a sword going through their hearts and cutting through to show there true self

true we are blind if we still do things that don't glolify The lord after all those miracles

look who is speaking here the cribes and pharasees

In every problem God wishes to be glorified, while onlookers, wishes to cast judgement/ accusation, that we must have sinned.Satan is the accuser of the brethren, but Jesus is the Optometrice who gives us eyes to see the truth.

Genesis 1:26; And God said, Let us make man in our own image, after our likeness: The creative nature of God was transferred to us human beings when He created us irrespective of our colour, race, custom, etc. God is counting on us to represent Him in making something new exist or happen. Now is the time for us to make use of the abilities that are still unused in us. John 9:4; I must work the works of Him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work.

@Bell,
On Luke 7:36-50:
1. Speaking of the difference between a self righteous religious leader who is mostly interested in proselyting good decent people that do not realize they are sinners in need of a saviour and a person that realizes that they are unrighteous sinner that knows they cannot cleanse themselves from being a sinner without a saviour;
2. The anointing with alabaster box of ointment is a picture of a sacrifice of repentance ( 1 John 1:9);
3. The women here being called a sinner ( John 9:31) by the Pharisee is most likely a reference to her actions, not just a person born into sin (as all humans are Romans 3:10,23), she is most likely a prostitute;
4. The parable of the creditor and two debtors validate this event between the Pharisee and the woman of low reputation;
5. Most people who get saved from a life of being a decent person do not seem to appreciate what they received through salvation as persons who get saved from a life of unlawful activity;
6. John 18:9-14, the Pharisee and the publican are on the same moral fortitude.

All through the Book of John, Satan is hard at work to cast dispersion on Jesus and blind the Pharisees to the true Messiah. I believe that Satan worked particularly hard in John 9 and actually made Christ's sacrifice for us a reality. Satan actually defeated himself and those that believe in Him won a great victory. All praise be to God.

I very much like this chapter, it has a lot of my favorite verses.

Matthew 23:19= You blind men! Which is greater: the gift, or the altar that makes the gift sacred?NIV
=You blind= in John 9:39-41- ''39=Jesus said, for judgment I have come into the world, so that the blind will see and those who see will become blind.'' 40=Some Pharisees who were with Him heard Him say this and asked, 'what? are we blind too?' 41=Jesus said,'If you were blind, you would not be guilty of sin; but now that you claim you can see, your guilt remains.''and also in John 5:39-40.
Which is greater, the gift or the altar that makes the gift sacred?= which one is bigger the giver or the or receiver. In 1Corinthians 12:4-11= which one is master the gifts or the one who gives.
John 17:17= ''Sanctify them by the truth; Your Word is truth.'' - which one is mighter the Sactifier or those who sactified.

First of all in my comments I didn't say anything about rapture. In my reading of the Holy Bible I see the Lord telling His men/disciple/church etc that He comes back so that they could expect His coming.
John 14
1 Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.
2 In my Father's house are many mansions: if [it were] not [so], I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.
3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, [there] ye may be also.

Hebrews 9:28
So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that LOOK for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation
1 Corinthians 1:7
So that ye come behind in no gift; waiting for the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ

1 Thessalonians 2:19
For what [is] our hope, or joy, or crown of rejoicing? [Are] not even ye in the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ at his coming?
1 Thessalonians 3:13
To the end he may stablish your hearts unblameable in holiness before God, even our Father, at the COMING of our Lord Jesus Christ with all his saints.
1 Thessalonians 5:23
And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and [I pray God] your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the COMING of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Colossians 3:4
When Christ, [who is] our life, shall appear, then shall ye also APPEAR with him in glory.
Philippians 3:20
For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we LOOK for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ
21 Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself.

1 John 3:2
Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet APPEAR what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.
1 Corinthians 15:23
But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ's at his coming

1 Thessalonians 4:15 - 17
For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive [and] remain unto the COMING of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep
For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:

Then we which are alive [and] remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.


The Church is expecting the coming of the Lord their Savior. We children of light and of the day. We are not going to sleep at all; we are not going to lose our faith.

The coming of the Lord is not as a thief in the night for the Church. The prepared Church is expecting His coming, His saints, His holy ones are awaiting His arrival. They are not going to sleep as the 10 virgins slept (While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept.). They are not preserved or kept for the darkness. But those that are choosing to receive Him at night (spiritually speaking) will meet Him when He comes from the wedding. ( And ye yourselves like unto men that wait for their lord, when he will return from the wedding; that when he cometh and knocketh, they may open unto him immediately.).


Amos 5:18
Woe unto you that desire the day of the LORD! to what END [is] it for you? the day of the LORD [is] darkness, and not light.
Job 36:20
Desire not the night, when people are cut off in their place.
John 9:4
I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the NIGHT cometh, when no man can work.


1 Thessalonians 5: 1 - 10
1 But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you.
2 For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night.
3 For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.
4 But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief.
5 Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness.
6 Therefore let us not sleep, as [do] others; but let us watch and be sober.
7 For they that sleep sleep in the night; and they that be drunken are drunken in the night.
8 But let us, who are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for an helmet, the hope of salvation.
9 For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ,
10 Who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him.


So I think, we must expect Jesus and receive Him and be with Him forever rather than being part of those who are waiting for the ati-Christ.

Corrected one, please ignore the previous one

Amos 5:18
Woe unto you that desire the day of the LORD! to what END [is] it for you? the day of the LORD [is] darkness, and not light.
Job 36:20
Desire not the night, when people are cut off in their place.
John 9:4
I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the NIGHT cometh, when no man can work.
Revelation 3:3
Remember therefore how thou hast received and heard, and hold fast, and repent. If therefore thou shalt not watch, I will come on thee as a thief, and thou shalt not know what hour I will come upon thee.

Revelation 16:15
Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed [is] he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame
The meaning of coming as a thief is that they will know when He comes but will be caught unaware and will be rejected, will have no chance to escape. So we shall not be left for the night. Coming of the Son of Man as a thief at night is about the day of the Lord. The Church is looking for Him not as a thief in the night. His coming as a thief in the night is for those who do not expecting Him, the Church is not of that fold.
