[The Glory Unveiled]
“Neither this man nor his parents sinned,” said Jesus, “but this happened so that the work of God might be displayed in his life. ( John 9:3 )
The man spoken about in the verse of Scripture was born blind. In the preceeding verse, the disciples had made a diagnosis which suggested that the man was blind from birth probably because he or his parents sinned. It is quite interesting to hear people, even Believers pass unwholesome judgement and make conclusions of issues they know nothing about. To the disciples, the cause of the man’s predicament couldn’t be far from either of the causative items aforementioned. But see how wrong they were when the matter was brought to the creator and sustainer of all things, Jesus, the word of God. And not only that, they could not trace the ailment to any glory or happy ending but Jesus in the verses that proceed did not only mention that God intended to showcase His glory through him but actually did it by giving the blind his sight. The truth is, the purposes of God overrides every predicament or challenge which should otherwise be a problem. God uses any and everything around and about our lives. Our assignment will be to discover the reasons for our circumstances. Why are we in the situations we are in? Why do we find ourselves stranded in a particular place? Everything around our lives is ultimately for the glory of God. Let us acknowledge God in all things. He knows why, He knows when and He knows how. Our lives are for His glory and praise.
