Response to the Son of God
(Prayer Walk thro John 9-12)
Backgrounder: Christ’s claim
draw the attention of more than
the hungry and sick. The scribes
and Pharisees, religious leaders
concerned about maintaining
the status quo, respond with
angry resistance. But how do
you refute a Man who preaches
that He is the Light of the World,
then proves it by giving sight to
the blind? … who claims He is
the resurrection & the life (J11:25),
then validates that claim by raising
a man from the dead. The choice
is clear: Either believe Him or seek
to silence Him once and for all.
Dear Lord, we learn from Jn 9-12
that the message that You Jesus
is the Son of God received mixed
reaction. Some worshiped You,
some shrank back while some
moved to silence You. Although
times have changed, people’s
hearts remain generally hard.
Grant that our response to
Your Word be appropriate and
that is to obey and worship You.
And help us Hear & Follow You;
help us to Pray In Faith; and
help us Live for Your Glory. Amen.
