In the ninth chapter of The Gospel According to Saint John, immediately, JESUS opens the eyes of a man that was born physically blind. Yes, it is true that GOD gives us our eyes and our eyesight at birth, but it is JESUS who opens up our spiritual eyesight.
As usual, JESUS is opposed by dis-believers . . . the spiritually blind folk!
The tenth chapter 10, verses 1-18, JESUS lets us know that HE is the GOOD SHEPHERD, with an expressed warning about false pastors (hirelings.) Those that are of the flock of JESUS know HIS voice, and we listen . . . we ear . . . we obey . . . we live the abundant life . . . and more?
Of course, they called JESUS a devil (please listen to JESUS said; YOU MUST BE BORN AGAIN, PART 1,2 & 3--earlier episodes ). . . the devil was real in JESUS' day . . . same soup, different day!
Chapter 11 holds is the only place in the BIBLE where the scriptures highlights JESUS weeping because HIS friend died. Yes, JESUS was grieving because HIS friend was dead. But please remember, this is a physical story.
Do you grieve for your friends who are spiritually dead?
