“God uses our stories for His Glory” John 9:1-34 John 9:1-34

John 9:1-5 And as Jesus passed by, he saw a man which was blind from his birth. 2 And his disciples asked him, saying, Master, who did sin, this man, or his parents, that he was born blind? 3 Jesus answered, Neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents: but that the works of God should be made manifest in him.4 I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work. 5 As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.A common belief in the Jewish culture was that calamity or suffering was the result of some great sin.  But Christ used this man’s suffering to teach about faith and to glorify God.  We live in a fallen world where good behavior is not always rewarded and bad behavior not always punished.  Therefore, innocent people sometimes suffer.  If God took suffering away whenever we asked, we would follow Him for comfort and convenience, not out of love and devotion.
