Jesus said, “For judgment I have come into this world, so that the blind will see and those who see will become blind.” — John 9:39
Jesus came into the world as a little baby.
He came to save the world.
He heals the sick and makes the blind see.
Jesus is the light of the world.
He holds us in His hand.
And we celebrate His brith at Christmastime.
But whoever does not have them [these qualities] is nearsighted and blind, forgetting that they have been cleansed from their past sins. — 2 Peter 1:9
My friend ordered a whole pizza, and Kirk got to enjoy the leftovers! Yum.
A very fun way to end my work week and start my vacation.
God calls us to add to our faith.
Goodness, perseverance, self-control, mutual affection, knowledge, and love.
Without these I'm just nearsighted - and I really am.
Without these qualities I'm blind to God's goodness in my life.
When I'm not exhibiting these qualities, I'm ignoring the sacrifice Jesus made for me.
I'm forgetting that He has cleansed me from my past sins.
The scroll of the prophet Isaiah was handed to him. Unrolling it, he found the place where it is written:
“The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind, to set the oppressed free, to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor.” — Luke 4: 17-19
God's Son was sent to proclaim good news to the poor and the poor in heart.
To proclaim freedom of the prisoners and for those of us living in darkness.
To give sight to the blind.
To proclaim the year of the Lord God's favor.
We know that God will guide us through the new year.
