“Jesus heard that they had cast him out; and when He had found him, He said unto him, Do you believe on the Son of God?” (John 9:35).

Over the last few days we have been camping in John 9 and considering the mighty miracle that took place in the life of the man born blind. The religious leaders interrogated the man several times. Their questions were answered to the best of his ability. Now another round of interrogation takes place, and the same questions are pressed. The man in whose life sight was restored said to them, “Why, herein is a marvelous thing, that you know not from whence He is, and yet He has opened mine eyes. If this man were not of God, he could do nothing” (John 9:30, 33). At this point the religious leaders become irrational and cast him out of the temple. As marvelous as the restoration of eyesight would be, I think an equally wonderful thing takes place as the Lord Jesus comes looking for the man. This is awesome indeed. I am thankful that the Lord seeks and saves us. We could never find Him on our own, nor would we be able to choose Him on our own. What a wonderful Lord to Whom we belong today. You can trust Him.

For today: Aren’t you glad that the Lord Jesus came seeking you? Be sure to praise Him throughout your day.
