One Thing I Know
“Then again called they the man that was blind, and said unto him, Give God the praise: we know that this man is a sinner. He answered and said, Whether he be a sinner or no, I know not: one thing I know, that, whereas I was blind, now I see.” (John 9:24-25)
Today’s Morsel: One of the things you learn in the military when you are advancing through the ranks is to never forget where you came from. In other words, don’t forget that you once held the same positions that those under you now hold and that you didn’t know everything when you were there and that you, too, made some foolish mistakes the same as they are. The same is true with our salvation. We weren’t always saved. If it had not been for God’s grace and mercy, where would we be. So, let’s not be too quick to judge those who may not have been in the church as long as we have been. They may still be struggling trying to get to where we are. Thus, we ought to be compassionate and reach back and give them a helping hand. When the religious leaders accused Jesus of being a sinner, the blind man whom Jesus had healed, stated: “Whether he be a sinner or no, I know not: one thing I know, that, whereas I was blind, now I see.” He said, call him what you want, but this one thing I know, I was blind, but now I see. And so was I. I was blind and could not see. “But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us, Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;) And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:” (Ephesians 2:4-6) And that is one thing I will never forget!
Sing: He touched me, o-oh, He touched me, and O’ the joy that floods my soul; Something happened, and now I know; Jesus touched me, and made me whole.
Thought For Today: “And Jesus answered and said unto her, Martha, Martha, thou art careful and troubled about many things: But one thing is needful: and Mary hath chosen that good part, which shall not be taken away from her.” (Luke 10:41-42)
