Being Found

Merry Christmas! – Not much writing today. I’ll have more tomorrow. For this story is one of my favorites in the whole Bible.

Scripture – John 9:35-38: Jesus heard that they had thrown him out, and when he found him, he said, “Do you believe in the Son of Man?” “Who is he, sir?” the man asked. “Tell me so that I may believe in him.” Jesus said, “You have now seen him; in fact, he is the one speaking with you.” Then the man said, “Lord, I believe,” and he worshiped him.

Observation (Write down what you see in the scripture.) Jesus found the man. He had been thrown out – rejected – by the established “church” of his day. And Jesus found him. He does not lose track of people. He has never lost track of me, no matter how far I’ve drifted.

Application (Write how you will be different today because of what you have just read.) I will remember that today. I will remember Jesus found me, and He’s allowed me to discover who He is.

Prayer (Write out a brief prayer.) Thank you, Lord. Thank you very much!!
