This week's "The Big God Story"
Healing of the Blind Man
John 9
Remember Verse:
I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die; and
whoever lives by believing in me will never die. John 11:25–26a
Connection Point
Because of the fall, we live in a world that deals with the realities of pain, death, and separation from God. Therefore, suffering is connected to sin because it was original sin that brought forth the suffering in the first place. Even so, Jesus is the One who is able to restore our bodies, hearts, and lives to be whole in Him. God’s love compelled Jesus to heal the blind man. Because Jesus loved him so much, Jesus desired to restore his physical body. Jesus also desired to bring his soul into a place of connection with God. God loves you so much that He desires to restore your body, your mind, your heart, and your soul. He longs to pour out His Spirit upon you and restore you to wholeness in Him. Where is there a place in your life where you need God’s restorative power? Are you grieving? Are you in physical pain? Are you simply feeling bored or exhausted? With expectancy in your heart, ask God to restore you—your mind, body, and soul.
