You are the Light of the World
“As he passed by, he saw a man blind from birth. His disciples asked him, “Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?” Jesus answered, “Neither did this man sin, nor his parents; but, that the works of God might be revealed in him. I must work the works of him who sent me, while it is day. The night is coming, when no one can work. While I am in the world, I am the light of the world.” When he had said this, he spat on the ground, made mud with the saliva, anointed the blind man’s eyes with the mud, and said to him, “Go, wash in the pool of Siloam” (which means “Sent”). So he went away, washed, and came back seeing.” (John 9:1-7 WEB)
The disciples who did not have the power to heal, were discussing why the man was born blind.
Sometimes people have a tendency to talk as if they know what is going on, assuming things that they know nothing about.
We make up all sorts of smart-sounding explanations for why things happen, when only God knows the truth.
The disciples asked whether the man sinned such that he was blind from birth. It is either that they believed in reincarnation (the false concept of past lives), or acting smart has just made them really foolish. How can an unborn person sin so that they are born blind?
Jesus was not interested to discuss about sin. He wanted to talk about God and to release God’s power.
In stark contrast to the disciples, Jesus is solution oriented. He knew He had the power to heal the man and doing that was His priority.
Jesus gave us a pattern to follow. Night is coming upon this world—a time of great tribulation. The church won’t be here to do the works of God to restrain the power of evil.
“You are the light of the world. A city located on a hill can’t be hidden. Neither do you light a lamp, and put it under a measuring basket, but on a stand; and it shines to all who are in the house. Even so, let your light shine before men; that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven.” (Matthew 5:14-16 WEB)
While we are still in the world, we are the light of the world. Say this now: “I am the light of the world, for the Spirit of Christ dwells in me.”
You have the responsibility to shine since you have this light. God has sent you to be a bearer of His light. Pray for people and be a conduit for God’s power to flow through to the world. Do good whenever God gives you the opportunity. Be solution-focused like Jesus!
