John
9:1-5 (NIV) As he went along, he saw a man blind from birth. 2 His disciples
asked him, "Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born
blind?"
3
"Neither this man nor his parents sinned," said Jesus, "but this
happened so that the work of God might be displayed in his life. 4 As long as
it is day, we must do the work of him who sent me. Night is coming, when no one
can work. 5 While I am in the world, I am the light of the world."
NOTE: Everyone looks
for someone or something to blame when things do not go the way we want. Who
doesn't sin and deserve something bad to happen? We all do. But the
imperfections of life are result of a fallen world that rejected God's rule. We
feel we have the right to reject God's rule over our life, but we bristle at
the notion that God won't intervene to stop evil or protect the
"innocent" from something bad happening. We can't have it both
ways. If we will not repent and let God rule, we can't also demand that he show
his goodness to us in this world. Our fallen world is a direct result of our
rejection of God's rule. We have one chance to experience life with God ruling, and that will come during the
millennial age where God will rule and the world will work as God always
intended it. Our only hope for living in that age is to repent, or we will
perish and never experience life as God intended. It is not too late to
repent, but someday soon (it is sooner every day), it will be too late.
