Day 25 – John 9:1-7
Last night was the culmination of our youth crusade and we had over 1200 students packed into our church building. 97 of them left having made commitments to Christ. God is good. As awesome as that is, there is still work to be done in this city.
I believe it was Adrian Rogers that once said that it “is getting gloriously dark”; meaning of course, that the end appears to be coming and the world is getting more and more sinister.
There should be a sense of urgency in us to spread the Gospel that Jesus preached to the world. We are preaching however to people that are mostly blind. Paul said “But even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing, whose minds the god of this age (Satan) has blinded, who do not believe, lest the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine on them.”
Like the man in this story, we were all spiritually blind from birth. We must work while it is still day to reach others. The night is coming when no one can work. We must spread the gospel.
Oh Jesus, come and shine a little light on your subjects. Take the dust of the earth and make new eyes for us and then open them so that we might see.
