John 9
What caused this mans blindness? This is a question asked still by people today, what is the reason for my illness? Many people today are blaming God for their sickness. Sometimes "genes" are blamed. The bible is clear about the answer to this question. John 10:10 Jesus said, The thief comes to steal, kill and to destroy, I have come that you might have life and life abundantly. Here we see that the devil come to steal and destroy. That is his aim in life to maim and hurt all of humanity. Why? Because man was made in the image of God and when the devil sees mankind he hates it so much that he wants to destroy it as mankind reminds him of God himself. He will do and use anything to destroy humanity, aids, starvation, wars, addictions, strife, divisions, anything evil and deviant. Jesus came to undo the works of the devil. 1 John 3:8. He continues to destroy the devils works today through the preaching of the gospel, healing, delivering people from their sicknesses and deseases. Breaking the bondages and setting people free. In this blind man God recieved glory because of his healing, not from his desease. God will always be glorified when people are delivered from Satans schemes of destruction. Something to think about.
