MESSAGE

Bless you one and all for joining us in worship on this Holy Day. Through the wondrous and awesome blessing and power of a most HOLY and powerful GOD, Welcome to our SABBATH & SUNDAY WORSHIP MESSAGE.

Today's Message in Holy Scripture is pretty straight forward. A simple question. DO YOU BELEIVE IN THE SON OF GOD? The inquiry is from Jesus himself.

The scene today opens as Jesus and his followers [were passing] through a village. It is there they discovered a man who was blind, and had been blind from birth, and His disciples asked Him, saying, "Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?" (3) Jesus answered, "Neither this man nor his parents sinned, but that the works of God should be revealed in him. (4) I must work the works of Him who sent Me while it is day; the night is coming when no one can work. (5) As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world." { Joh 9:2-5 NKJV}

As you can see, there is a lot information in this first few verses of John Chapter 9. A significant healing was about to take place, in full view of a sizable crowd of witnesses. Past SIN of parents were frequently blamed for conditions and disabilities appearing from birth. Jesus promptly discounted that query reminding His team that His mission on earth is to do His Father's will and TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE!. This particular healing would get everyone's attention! Especially that of the Pharisees.

[Jesus] spat on the ground and made clay with [His] saliva; and He anointed the eyes of the blind man with the clay. (7) And He said to him, "Go, wash in the pool of Siloam". So he went and washed, and came back seeing. (8) Therefore the neighbors and those who previously had seen that he was blind said, "Is not this he who sat and begged?" Therefore they said to him, "How were your eyes opened?" (11) He answered and said, "A Man called Jesus made clay and anointed my eyes and said to me, 'Go to the pool of Siloam and wash.' So I went and washed, and I received sight." (12) Then they said to him, "Where is He?" He said, "I do not know." (13) They brought him--who formerly was blind--to the Pharisees. (14) Now it was a Sabbath when Jesus made the clay and opened his eyes. {Joh 9:6-14 NKJV}

See where we are headed? Jesus healed ON THE SABBATH! Not only that but he healed a man blind from birth. Never before had they heard of such a thing. This demanded a close and well conducted investigation!! And the Pharisees were egar to find something to use against Jesus.

In what was a heated confrontation between the formerly blind man, fully of age, and the insolent Pharisees, they determined to kick the poor man out of the Synagogue. The Man had challenged the religous leaders with the TRUTH! A very serious thing to do!

Jesus heard that they had cast him out; and when He had found him, He said to him, "Do you believe in the Son of God?" He answered and said, "Who is He, Lord, that I may believe in Him?" And Jesus said to him, "You have both seen Him and it is He who is talking with you." Then he said, "Lord, I believe!" And he worshiped Him. And Jesus said, "For judgment I have come into this world, that those who do not see may see, and that those who see may be made blind." Then some of the Pharisees who were with Him heard these words, and said to Him, "Are we blind also?" Jesus said to them, "If you were blind, you would have no sin;--but now you say, 'We see.' Therefore your sin remains. { Joh 9:35-41 NKJV}

We have a lot of work yet to do, you and I. Despite overwhelming Biblical evidence of HIS being, a huge number of God's creation do not believe that the Messiah actually came, and was crucified, raised from the dead and ascended into heaven being seated at the right hand of Almighty God. Also, He is coming back very soon! What about you? Do you know the Son of God?

In Hebrews 8:10-12 KJV we find this written; For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people: (11) And they shall not teach every man his neighbor, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for all shall know me, from the least to the greatest. (12) For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more.

SUMMARY/APPLICATION

The Apostle Paul responds in this 2nd Timothy verse; "For the which cause I also suffer these things: nevertheless I am not ashamed: for I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto him against that day." {2Ti 1:12 KJV}

Jesus Himself thus confesses with His mouth; I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty. {Rev 1:8 KJV}

DO YOU BELIEVE IN THE SON OF GOD?

Share HIM with others as you go your way this week. Instead of saying God Bless You, Smile broadly and tell them that JESUS LOVES THEM! It is the LOVE of others that marks us as belonging to The Royal Family of Jesus!

CLOSING PRAYER With humility we are filled with thanksgiving for Your Holy Message, Mighty GOD. As we fellowship, even remotely, we each are as close together as a whispered prayer. We revere You, and we Fear You when Your wrath is awakened. Grant us wisdom, courage, strong faith, boldness and patience in our walk before You. This we pray in the name above all names, Jesus the Christ, AMEN.
