“They answered him, ‘You were born entirely
in sins, and are you teaching us?’ So, they put him out.” (John 9:34)
There is a proverb that
says, “The words of the poor do not reach the stage.”
Yes, this world accepts the words of those who have power and wealth as truth.
Even if those without money or influence speak good and wise words, people do
not accept them.
Our Lord Jesus Christ opened
the eyes of a man who was blind from birth. He became a great witness for
Christ. We read:
“Since the beginning of time
it has never been heard that anyone opened the eyes of a person born blind. If
this man were not from God, He could do nothing.” (John 9:32–33)
In other words, he boldly
declared that Jesus is the Son who came from God. But the Jews refused to
believe what he said. Not only that, but they also put him out.
Beloved, even today we see
such things happening. I know a man who was once a complete drunkard. He would
get drunk and fall on the streets. His family was in deep poverty. Yet, in some
situation, he came to know the Lord Jesus Christ. His life completely changed.
Within a few years, he became a brother who preach Christ to others. The hands
that once carried liquor bottles now carry the Holy Bible.
But Christians who
traditionally attend church still look down on him. They mock his words as “a
drunkard’s talk.” Some others belittle him by saying he changed his faith
for money.
Yes, it is true that he was
a drunkard once. But no one wonders how such a transformation happened,
or how great the One must be who brought this change in his life! Just
as the man born blind saw the Lord, this man who was once enslaved by alcohol
has now seen Christ. But those who traditionally go to church have not seen Him
in their own lives.
That is why Jesus said to them:
“For judgment I came into
this world, so that those who do not see may see, and those who see may become
blind.” (John 9:39)
Beloved, let us not despise
or belittle anyone who proclaims the gospel of Christ. We do not know how
Christ is working in their personal life; we do not know the personal
relationship they have with God.
If we ignore such people, thinking “we see,” then
we too will be spiritually blind—just as Jesus said to the Jews—and God’s
judgment will come upon us.
