Message Notes:
I See You
John 9:1-11 (NIV) As he went along, he saw a man blind from birth. His disciples asked him, “Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?” “Neither this man nor his parents sinned,” said Jesus, “but this happened so that the works of God might be displayed in him. As long as it is day, we must do the works of him who sent me. Night is coming, when no one can work. While I am in the world, I am the light of the world.” After saying this, he spit on the ground, made some mud with the saliva, and put it on the man’s eyes. “Go,” he told him, “wash in the Pool of Siloam.” So the man went and washed, and came home seeing. His neighbors and those who had formerly seen him begging asked, “Isn’t this the same man who used to sit and beg?” Some claimed that he was. Others said, “No, he only looks like him.” But he himself insisted, “I am the man.” “How then were your eyes opened?” they asked. He replied, “The man they call Jesus made some mud and put it on my eyes. He told me to go to Siloam and wash. So I went and washed, and then I could see.”
The Wonder of the Gospel
Gospel = The Good News about Jesus’ victory over sin and death for us.
The Wonder Gets Lost When:
1. We forget what we hold and why.
2. We forget Jesus is coming back.
Hebrews 10:37 (NASB) For yet in a very little while, He who is coming will come, and will not delay.
2 Peter 3:10 (NIV) The Lord is not slow in keeping His promise, as some understand slowness. Instead He is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.
3. We forget that it’s simple.
John 9:25 (NIV) He replied, “Whether he is a sinner or not, I don’t know. One thing I do know. I was blind but now I see!”
4. We experience disappointment.
How Do We Maintain the Wonder?
1. Pray/ask for it.
2. Read God’s Word daily and ask Him for a love and understanding for His Word.
When the Gospel incites Wonder, it produces Action/Work as an OVERFLOW of Wonder
