John 9:1-34
This is the story of a blind man who was made to see…literally and figuratively. And once again Jesus performed a miracle on the Sabbath.
The debate began again among the Pharisees, the Sadducees, and the people in the community. Who is this man, Jesus? Who gave him the authority to do what he did…God or Satan?
This kind of debate continues to this day. Many people do not believe that Jesus had any kind of special authority let alone to be the Son of God, Son of Man, the Messiah. How do we convince people that Jesus is who he says he is?
It is especially difficult if the person with whom we are talking does not believe in God either. How can we prove to anyone that God exists? I have tried to do just that recently on a forum. I failed miserably. The more I tried the more the atheist was certain that he was correct.
Finally, I said, “I cannot ‘prove’ my faith to you except through my behavior. Conversely, you are unable to ‘disprove’ my faith.” If anyone knows any way of ‘proving’ faith and the existence of God, I would like to know the proof. I am going to meet people like that again, and I would like to be able to stand up for my beliefs much better than I did the last time.
