It’s Going to Work Out
Marriage
Being part of a good marriage will cost you something.
I no longer get to do just what I want to do.
Play golf all I want.
Spend money on what I want
Go out w/ whomever, whenever I want
I need to be considerate of Sara.
The Bible says I need to think of her first.
It tells her to think of me first.
This selfless attitude is what makes a marriage work
And, when the marriage works better together, everything works out better for us individually.
Make the necessary sacrifices for a good marriage and my life is better in general.
Parenting
Parenting is the same.
Good parenting will cost you, dearly.
The money we spent on ourselves BC: before kids.
Uniforms, braces, french horns, guitars, saxophones, marimbas, piano lessons, baseball gloves, nights at the ballparks, concerts, band competitions, and on and on.
But, the sacrifices we made for our kids made us a stronger family and we actually enjoy each other’s company today as adults.
When the family works better as a unit, it works better for each individual.
Church
Church is the same.
A good church requires sacrifices by all.
The time put in by the choir and Lee, children’s leaders, men’s and women’s ministry leaders, elders, BS leaders and students.
This is a very generous church, financially, speaking.
The sacrifices made by all make this a better church.
And, as the church functions better, individuals are blessed.
Our Walk with God
And, each of us and our individual walk w/ God is also the same.
God is going to do whatever most glorifies Himself no matter what it costs us.
There was a cost to Him, too.
It cost Jesus time in heaven and His life on earth.
But, whatever most glorifies God will end up working out for us.
How do we know?
Miracle #27
.
There was a man who was blind on earth but will see forever.
And, it begins with the question we all ask when life is a struggle.
Why?
Why him?
Blind since birth.
Question of ‘fairness’.
Who sinned?
The implication is God wouldn’t do this to a good person.
Someone is to blame.
There has t/b a reason.
Job’s friends.
We do it to ourselves, too.
Expect to be treated better if we act better and if we struggle we assume we did something to cause it.
No one sinned to cause this.
That’s not fair!
True.
This was no accident.
God wanted it to happen, planned it, timed it so that Jesus could deal w/ it this day.
At this moment God will be able to demonstrate His power and glory for us.
There will be a “Wow” factor.
Here’s how He did it.
Here’s to mud in your eye!
Why mud?
Spits in the dirt, makes mud, smears it on his eyes, then tells him to go wash it off in the Pool of Siloam.
Siloam = Sent.
Sent him to the “Pool of the Sent”
Immediate obedience results in immediate healing.
And, it gave Jesus the chance to get away before the crowd realized what had happened.
There is so much about this that is simply hard to believe.
Hard to Believe
Same guy? Must be a twin!
Hard to believe it’s the same guy.
It looks like him.
Can both be true?
The man who used t/b blind and now he sees?!
All their lives they knew this guy, pitied him, helped him, talked about him behind his back, assuming someone sinned.
NO! It’s me! It’s really me.
He’s having a hard time convincing them.
Who did this?
And, how?
He goes thru the whole process.
And in that process never even got Jesus’ name.
Hard to believe he didn’t even catch Jesus’ name.
Then, didn’t believe IN Him to save him.
He didn’t know who He is, where He went, nothing.
The man had no faith IN Jesus.
Yet, Jesus healed him.
This is Messianic fulfillment stuff. .
Take him to the Pharisees so they can deal w/ him.
Notice Jesus did this on the Sabbath.
So you know what they were more concerned w/.
Jesus never broke God’s law.
Their tradition, however...
What Jesus did, did not break the law.
This guy comes to them, had been blind since birth, now he sees, and rather than celebrate w/ him and acknowledge Jesus is the Messiah, they quiz him regarding Jesus breaking the Sabbath tradition.
Such a dilemma.
Conflicted in their minds.
A man of God wouldn’t break the law.
Jesus didn’t!
A man not of God couldn’t do this.
Jesus did.
Well??!!
But they didn’t want to believe in Jesus.
If they did they would indict themselves for their behavior.
Solution: It must be his twin!
