DAD'S RAMBLINGS -- ONE THING I KNOW

DAD'S RAMBLINGS – ONE THING I KNOW

"He answered, 'Whether He is a sinner or not I do not know. One thing I know: that though I was blind, now I see.' " (John 9:25)

Try to imagine what it was like for this man whom Jesus had just healed. He had been blind from birth. He had never seen the beauty of a sunset. He had never seen a smile. He had never seen the glory of a rose. He had never seen the face of his father or mother. He had never seen a majestic mountain. He knew nothing of the splendor of God's creation. All he had ever seen was darkness.

But Jesus miraculously healed him by spitting on the ground to make clay out of the dust and saliva, and then putting the mud on his eyes, and healed him. It was something only God could do. People could not believe that this was the same man that had sat by the side of the street begging, until he said, "Yes, it is really I."

What a change in the life of this man. No longer did he have to beg. No longer did he spend his days sitting on the street. No longer would he wonder what it would be like to see. This man's life was transformed.

At one time, we were all blind – blind to the glorious Gospel. That is, until Jesus touched our eyes so we could see. Our lives were transformed. No longer are we blind to God's grace. No longer do we grope in the darkness of sin. No longer do we stumble through life with no purpose for living. Our eyes have been opened to God's marvelous plan of salvation.

I'm not the smartest cookie in the world. But one thing I know. It was a glorious day when the scales were removed from my eyes and I could really see God's truth. I am no longer a blind beggar. I can see! Praise the Lord, I can see!

Love, Dad
