The Work of Messiah

"Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened."

Isaiah 35:5

Today's Bible Reading: John 9:1-7.

In the Bible's account of the Lord Jesus healing a man who was born blind. The Lord instructs the man to go and wash in the pool of Siloam, and upon following the Lord's command, the man's sight is restored. This healing is indeed important because it is the first recorded instance in the Bible of any person born blind being cured of their blindness.

The importance of this event is amplified when considering certain prophecies in the Old Testament that speak of the works of the Messiah. Isaiah 35:5, for example, prophesies, "Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened." This prophecy is associated with the expected work of the Messiah. Again, in Psalm 146:8, the Bible says: "The LORD opens the eyes of the blind."

When Jesus healed the man born blind, it aligns with the prophecy from Isaiah 35:5. By opening the eyes of the blind, Jesus fulfils this specific Messianic prophecy, which further strengthens the reality that He is the promised Messiah.

Those who see and know the Lord Jesus as God incarnate or the Son of God understand the healing of the man born blind as further evidence the Lord's divine nature. This fulfilled prophecy is confirmation that Jesus, is the Christ and thus possesses the authority and power of God. Furthermore, this man's physical blindness, is a picture of our spiritual blindness, without the opening of our eyes by God the Holy Spirit.

I wonder today, have your eyes been opened?

Prayer: Guide me, Heavenly Father, in my study of your Word, that I may gain deeper insights into the mysteries of Your plan and purpose. May the lives of all Christians be transformed by the truth we find in Scripture, and may we be empowered to share Your love and truth with others. In the Messiah's name. Amen.

The Ark of Salvation

"Thus Noah did; according to all

that God commanded him."

Genesis 6:22

Today's Bible Reading: Hebrews 11:6-7.

One day God spoke to Noah about the wickedness of the human race. The actions of men and women grieved Him to the heart. God said that He intended to send a flood that would destroy mankind, and He told Noah to build an ark to save his household and the animals. The Bible says that “Noah acted in faith" (Noah believed God) (Hebrews 11:7). Now Noah had never seen a flood. He had never seen it rain for 40-day non-stop. He had no weather map, no satellite, no photograph or meteorologist to tell him that a big storm was coming. All he had to go on was the Word of God. But when the flood came, Noah was spared and saved with his family, and the rest of his ungodly generation was swept away. Noah was saved because he put his trust in God. The days of Noah are returning to earth, and a catastrophe as great as the flood awaits those who refuse to enter into the ark of salvation, which is Jesus Christ. Are you in the Ark?

Prayer: Almighty and Eternal God, Keep me faithful, keep me trusting, and help me to share the Good News with those who are perishing in these last days. In Christ's name I pray. Amen.

When God is Forgotten

"Remember now your Creator…”

Ecclesiastes 12:1

Today's Bible Reading: Ecclesiastes 12:1–14.

The book of Ecclesiastes closes with a solemn call to remember God before life slips away. It reminds us that life is brief, judgement is certain, and God must not be forgotten. From this text, three truths stand out clearly.

First: The REJECTION of God - “The fool has said in his heart, ‘There is no God.’” (Psalm 14:1). Man does not naturally remember God—he rejects Him. This is not always open denial, but quiet neglect. God is ignored, left out, and forgotten in daily life.

You may not deny God with your lips, but do you deny Him with your life?

Second: The RECORD before God - “For God will bring every work into judgement, including every secret thing…” (Ecclesiastes 12:14). Man may forget God—but God does not forget man. Every thought, word, and deed is known to Him. Nothing is hidden from His sight. You may have forgotten your sin—but God has not.

Third: The RECKONING with God - “It is appointed for men to die once, but after this the judgement.” (Hebrews 9:27). A day is coming when all will give account. The God you forget will one day be faced. There will be no escape, no excuse, and no second opportunity. You can ignore God now—but you cannot avoid Him then.

Remember Him now. Turn to Him. Trust in Christ.

Prayer: Almighty Lord God, forgive me my sin and my forgetfulness of You. Turn my heart to Christ and help me to trust in Him alone. I ask in His name. Amen. Amen.
