John 9:1-41

Pastor Chris Laughlin
Introduction
The definition of miracle is a highly improbable or extraordinary event, development, or accomplishment that brings very welcome consequences. Miracles are rare in the eyes of the world we live in today — we often see them as false or simply exaggerated, explainable events. But Jesus was the ultimate Miracle Worker. He performed many miracles throughout His earthly ministry. Each was seen by dozens, sometimes hundreds and even thousands of witnesses. Jesus is the Miracle Worker. And just as He made miracle after miracle happen when He walked the earth more than 2,000 years ago, He wants to work another miracle in your life today.
- The Disciples focused on the rather than the cure.
For I was hungry, and you fed me. I was thirsty, and you gave me a drink. I was a stranger, and you invited me into your home…” I tell you the truth, when you did it to one of the least of these my brothers and sisters, you were doing it to me! Matthew 25:35-40
2. The Neighbors were to those around them.
The second is equally important: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ No other commandment is greater than these.” Mark 12:31
3. The Parents were of Potential consequences.
“Everyone who acknowledges me publicly here on earth, I will also acknowledge before my Father in heaven. But everyone who denies me here on earth, I will also deny before my Father in heaven. Matthew 10:32-33
4. The Pharisees to believe the truth
Don’t lord it over the people assigned to your care, but lead them by your own good example.
1 Peter 5:3
5. The Blind Man submitted, obeyed, believed, & .
“I am the light of the world, he who follows Me shall not work in the darkness, but shall have the light of life” John 8:12
Closing: Sin renders us spiritually blind; Salvation through Jesus restores our spiritual sight.
