A Significant Record of True Salvation
Text: John 9: 39
A SIGNIFICANT RECORD OF TRUE SALVATION
This was a very special moment for the former blind man! His life had taken a very significant and positive turn.
1. His former life
a. He was born blind.
b. He suffered terribly, probably begging for a living.
2. His new life
a. He was healed and he could now see.
b. A whole new life and future awaited him.
c. But what was more important:
i. He had found faith in Jesus.
ii. He gave his heart to the Son of God.
iii. He would worship Jesus from here on.
iv. It did not matter if the whole community had rejected him!
A SIGNIFICANT WORD FROM THE LORD JESUS
This was also a special moment for Jesus. It is always deeply moving when a person comes to genuine faith in the Son of God. This moved Him to make the following statement.
“And Jesus said, ‘For judgment I have come into this world, that those who do not see may see, and that those who see may be made blind.’”
John 9:39
1. “For judgment I have come into this world”
a. For judgment I have come into this world.
i. The word “judgment” is used in a special way.
ii. This is not a reference to the final judgment of the dead.
iii. It is a reference to the obvious difference that He saw right before His eyes.
b. “That those who do not see may see”
i. Specifically, in this context, it is a reference to the former blind man.
ii. It is a general reference to those who are spiritually blind, they can find spiritual sight in Jesus.
c. “And that those who see may be made blind”
i. Spiritual blindness occurs when we choose to reject the Saviour who can open our eyes.
ii. Arrogance and stubbornness are often the sins that continue to make us blind.
经文：约翰福音9：39
真正得救恩的重要记载
这对从前瞎眼的人来说是个很特别的时刻！他的生命发生了极其重要和正面的转变。
1. 他从前的生活
a. 他生来就是瞎眼的
b. 他受了极大的痛苦，大多数是以行乞为生
2. 他的新生命
a. 他被医治了，而现在能看见
b. 新的生命和未来等待着他
c. 但更重要的是：
i. 他找到了在耶稣里的信心
ii. 他把他的心给予上帝的儿子
iii. 从今往后他会崇拜耶稣
iv. 即使犹太人拒绝他也无所谓！
来自主耶稣重要的话语
这对耶稣来说也是一个特别的时刻。每当有人真正相信上帝的儿子时，这都是深深感动人心的时刻。祂因感动而说了这句话。
“耶稣说：‘我为审判到这世上来，叫不能看见的可以看见，能看见的反瞎了眼。’”
