Discuss John 9 Page 4

I enjoy so much of Matthew Henry s Commentary as his insights open the Word up even more for me to understand. John the Beloved did love Jesus so much and we who are no longer spiritually blind are also Beloved by our Messiah. O for a thousand tongues to sing His Name! I can only imagine when we as His Saints in Eternity will sing as thousands, upon thousands tongues to the Lamb, never tiring of showing Him all GLORY,HONOR AND PRAISE!

Helo star, I think that is realy cool. Remember that the Bible is God's word, and to get to know Him you need to hear all of His words. I am teaching a bible that parallels Genesis with John. Read the first 15 verses of Genesis 1,then first 5 verses of John 1. The Word became flesh, the words that God spoke the earth to existance, was Jesus Messiah.He is the Way, Truth, and Life,Follow Him to Live

What don't you believe when Jesus, Paul, Peter, or John talk about perfect? To be blaimless without spot blemish or wrinkle free and clear from all sin when you pray tonight, if you do tell God what you believe and don't believe in his word and see how far you get with that. My bible makes it clear that the God and Father of Jesus does not hear the prayer of sinners John 9:31.

We need to heed ...while it's still day! we will by edifying the body and by witnessing to the lost. this chapter shows that there is a resurrection and also a separation from God... John 9:4 there is a time when no man can work.

Love verse 27! When the young man asked the Pharrasies, if they would become his diciples. It is like, to me, a knife of conviction being thrust through the heart! The young man, already had the faith, and, I believe, was now, trying to convict the Pharrasies. Just like the Samaratin women, when she asked,"Is not this the Christ?" She already knew, and was evangelizing.

I love the book of John and read one chapter a week for 21 weeds at least once every 8 months so that God can open up my understanding. Like the blind man in chapter 9, I also believe and will worship him

I think John 9 is a very important passage about the difference between Satan's prison of darkness and Christ's freedom of light!

Thank you Jesus that once I was blind but now I see. Living in the world I thought I was having a good time until I truly accepted Jesus as my Lord and Savior and I realized how wrong I had been. I will spend the rest of my life loving and thanking him for his forgiveness and salvation. Praise God from whom all blessings flow. Amen

I was blind before now i can see. I was blind to know and hear God's words before but now I am born again. Help me Jesus to be born again every moment of my life. You alone the Light of the world my Redeemer my Savior Shalom I will praise you Lord Jesus until my last breath and I will rejoice for you are my life and my salvation my Jehovah my Healer amen

Men of God know not mystery’s God holds. We have non believers, even atheists in our families and friends. Some we think barred from Heaven will not be and visa versa. Our pain may be great with these lost, so close to us.
We, living like Christ helps bring some to belief, even after we go to Heaven. God’s power works in us/ thru us. Atheists being open are closer to God than they realize! Amen.

Jesus actions spoke for themselves. When he was falsely accused he let his actions speak for themselves so people could reach the right conclusion about him. We can imitate him.

this is a day that the lord has made and we will rejoice and be glad in it,our God is faithful and truth.he cares and loves us more than we can think about:

I love to read john, he was very close to jesus and how wonderful for that man to see for the first time. so many people can see and still be blind. stubborn or foolish or both.

Born again with the fire of Gods Spirit and Word. Now, Jesus teaches daily, his Word my parchment of life and wisdom. Dumbfounded I go healed, saved in his grace, wanting to tell all. Few may hear or see quickly, for it took decades searching and wallowing in the mire for me to find. My eyes now see, and soul more, to live with Jesus. Thank you Jesus and God, bringing this fire for those who see.

I like this

Charles: Let there be Light. This is The Light that came into The World and in the hearts of Believers @Salvation. The Light is Called Day. The darkness is called Night. The Lord said He must do The Work while it's Day: John 9:4. We are to take this Light the world. We are The only Light The World will See. This Light is not visible to the Eye. The World was revolving before day 4.

"..Master, who did sin, this man, or his parents, that he was born blind?" How many strange ideas people will follow instead of acknowledging the truth as it is written in the Scriptures! As Christians we may have it hard to think in terms of luck; but we are in a hostile and ruined world filled with many hazards and adversaries; and its not always to be judged as one being better or worse than.

"And his disciples asked him, saying, Master, who did sin, this man, or his parents, that he was born blind?" While many think that these are hard things to understand, how evil happens especially hard to some, yet it shows a great ignorance of the ruined state of the world and a gross underestimating of one's own sins. But the reason we all are born, even in this condition, is that we be saved!

God and Father of Jesus does not hear the prayer of sinners. John 9:31] Now we know that God heareth not sinners: but if any man be a worshipper of God, and doeth his will, him he heareth.

David: if we are all sinners then Jesus is coming back for nobody then. My bible says in 1st John 3:8 "he that commith sin is of the devil.." Jesus told people in John 5:19 "Sin no more." Jesus came and died so we can be free and clear from all sin. I am an ex-sinner saved by grace Romans 6:18. My bible in John 9:31 tells me God don't hear the prayer of sinners. All sinners will burn Rev 21:8.

Psalms 18:28 tell us that the world and all around us is in darkness. Indeed, the world is so dark. We live in it. As such, we do know that the world is in darkness. But, why is it so? It is both ungodly and unrighteous. The foe has made it so. And, all who live in the world are in darkness, too. Why? All have sinned. And, in doing so, all have come short of the glory of the Lord. Rom. 3:23 So, if the Light does not shine in the darkness of this world, then none can see the glory of God. And, all will fall and perish. But, the Lord is the true Light of the world. John 9:5 And, if one asks the Lord for His light, then the Lord will gladly shine the light for her or him. The darkness will go away when the Light shines on it. No one will fall or perish when the Light shines on her him. Yes, one can to see, walk, or work when darkness is out. May the Light of the world ever shine for and on us. Amen.

Hello Peter; It is interesting, and something to wonder about, that men are able to be indifferent to and deflect the spiritual and the truth working right in their midst! "...for flesh and blood has not not revealed it to you, but my Father in heaven." So the LORD is righteous who takes vengeance on the wickedness of men, because He KNOWS what we really are inwardly, and all have a conscience!

Very interesting encounter with the blind man and the members of his community. In spite of all the miracles, many could not still see that Jesus is incarnate God. This is another prophecy fulfilled that His people will know Him not ( Jeremiah 3: 20). Also see John 1: 11: He came unto his own, and his own received him not.

April- The very definition of God's grace is UNmerited favor... No matter how broken and sorry one could be, only believing Christ took one's place (God seeing Christ's past instead of one's own; Christ's righteousness instead of one's own works) brings salvation! Praise God :) "For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift [no work can add] of God:"Eph

Amen.

Jacoba - You are both right in your teaching. There are many reasons why God does a lot of things and He does it all for His own glory whether out of compassion or to show His power or for our good etc. Let's add John 9:1-3 to the discussion. This is e-home cell we have online I enjoy the contributions. Let's continue to glean through scriptures to build ourselves up in all humility.

I think of Amazing grace when I read this chapter, and it makes me wonder,if we say now we see, could we actually be blind?, for it takes every day commitment and understanding, to be sinless,I really dont know of one person in exsistence that is PERFECT, so Thank YESHUA for having grace and patience,I try and ask to help me be humble,and thank him for all I have in my life,I'm nothing without him

Dave: The blind man went to the pool to wash he was blind he didn't see Jesus. Read verse 6-7

David - not everyone learns at the same speed. God knows this for He created us. Jesus sought this man out because He knew this of him and also KNEW he would - believe - given just one more sentence of teaching.

V.7 is a prophesy of Acts2:38. When we are washed in the pool (baptistery, by immersion, (using the NAME of Jesus) and receive the Holy Ghost, the Spirit (Holy Ghost) then opens our eyes to the truth of His Word.
