John 9:35 Jesus heard that they had put him out, and finding him, He said, "Do you believe in the Son of Man?"
Isn’t it amazing how Jesus gets right to the heart of relationship with Him? He didn’t try to help him process how he had been rejected or how he felt about what had just happened to him. The only thing that mattered was faith in Jesus. This reminds us to keep our eyes fixed on Jesus rather than on how we’ve been mistreated by others. We can expect suffering and rejection if we believe in and follow Jesus. He doesn’t promise us a “good life” now. He opens our eyes to see and believe in Him, so that we can testify to a blind, dark and hostile world of His power and love. We may expect some to see and believe and some to be offended and reject. We can leave that in our Father’s hands. Today, let’s love with Jesus and keep our eyes fixed on Him.
