Daddy blog

I started this blog when I was following the Life Journal Bible reading plan on YouVersion. (I've since completed that plan.) At that time, YouVersion didn't provide any way for people to respond to my notes, other than to "like" them. So this blog is here to remedy that problem. You may comment on my notes here in the comment section.
I also have a general blog.

Lessons from the man born blind

S: John 9

O: Bad things are not always someone's fault.

The blind man’s parents were scared of the Pharisees’ decree and said, “He is of age. Ask him.”

The blind man was convinced Jesus was of God because of the miracle, but the Pharisees had already declared him a sinner because of their prejudice against his not fitting their preconceived notions.

A: I have to be careful when things don’t fit my theology. Don’t put God in a box.

P: Father, give me the wisdom to change my mind when it’s correct to do so, but not be blown by every wind of doctrine. In Jesus’ name, amen.

 
As the blind man was sitting there by the way,
He cried to Jesus for mercy that day.
Jesus commanded and gave him his sight.
As he followed Jesus, I'm sure he cried,
 
 
"Jesus passed by my way,
And He made me whole that day!
Just a sinner was I, but then Jesus passed by,
And, Oh! What a change in my life
Since Jesus passed by!"
 
 
And just like that blind man, I wondered along
In the darkness of sin I was always alone.
But one day I met Him, and He made things right!
And, Oh! What a difference when Jesus passed by!
