I Am the Good Shepherd

“I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine”

In our society today, we have a lot of substitutes we substitute a relationship with God for religion we substitute good works for God’s Grace we substitute morality for repentance we substitute success for surrender self helps for the Holy Spirit

We substitute comfort for conviction we substitute man’s approval for God’s favor why in the world would anyone wanna substitute Jesus?

Persisting in the absence of sight

John 9:24-41

Jesus heard that they had cast him out; and when he had found him, he said unto him, Dost thou believe on the Son of God?

The Pharisees were persistently in the absence of sight. How they said to give God the glory for this miracle but yet called the one that did the miracle a sinner. They also called the one that was born with blindness a sinner. The only sinners that I see here are the Pharisees that rejected Jesus as the son of God.

Resisting Reality

“Therefore said some of the Pharisees, This man is not of God, because he keepeth not the sabbath day”

The Pharisees were resisting the reality that this man was born blind. They also were resisting the reality that Jesus Christ was the son of God.

They perverted the Sabbath day when they rejected the mercies of God done on this day. How many people take something that is right and weaponize it because of their own greed, power, and authority?
