約翰福音 9:3-4, 25, 32-33, 38-39, 41 CUNP
耶穌回答說：「也不是這人犯了罪，也不是他父母犯了罪，是要在他身上顯出上帝的作為來。
People who are born disabled or people who fall into severe diseases, no one is at fault. It is only because God wants to reveal His glory. He wants His children to be saved eternally rather than dying eternally after this short life.
如果有人生來身體就殘缺，或後天得了病 ，耶穌說不是任何人的錯。上帝其實是要透過這些經歷彰顯祂的榮耀。祂想讓讓祂的孩子們不致滅亡反得永生。
趁著白日，我們必須做那差我來者的工；黑夜將到，就沒有人能做工了。
Jesus knows the work of salvation is urgent, we are never to delay. When judgement comes, no one is to be spared.
耶穌知道救贖的工是急迫的，我們不要拖延。當審判來之時，沒有一個人是能脫逃的。
他說：「他是個罪人不是，我不知道；有一件事我知道，從前我是眼瞎的，如今能看見了。」
The pharisees try to accuse the blind man and put fault on Jesus. However, the blind man did not agree with their claim about Jesus ad a sinner, rather, he presented what ws true to him.
法利賽人試圖降罪於耶穌！
從創世以來，未曾聽見有人把生來是瞎子的眼睛開了。 這人若不是從上帝來的，甚麼也不能做。」
Jesus is the only one who can heal and set people free from bondage. It was an unprecedented event to people in those days that someone blind can ever be healed.
他說：「主啊，我信！」就拜耶穌。 耶穌說：「我為審判到這世上來，叫不能看見的，可以看見；能看見的，反瞎了眼。」
The blind man's pure faith saved Him from eternal death. He was physically blind yet spiritually seeing.
耶穌對他們說：「你們若瞎了眼，就沒有罪了；但如今你們說『我們能看見』，所以你們的罪還在。」
It was shocking to know that though the Pharisees know the law so well, they still cannot be saved. If people in this world do not see Jesus as God, they are spiritually blind. Ultimately death is awaiting in the end.
DEAR HEAVENLY FATHER,
Thank you that no matter how bad the circumstances may seem in our lives, you are still good. There is always a way out. Thank you that you use the trials in our lives to open our spiritual eyes. Because many times, until we suffer, we do not see you as Lord our God. We neglect you or even turn away from you.
We know that there is so much work to be done on this earth. The work is urgent. Help us not to hold back and be blinded in our comfort zone.
Give me a pure faith that trusts you wholeheartedly. Give me boldness also to proclaim the great things you do in my life.
Teach me how to lead people to the way of true salvation.
AMEN
