00:04The Pharisees criticized Jesus for healing a blind man on the Sabbath day.
00:10What does it mean?
00:11The Sabbath healing of a man born blind revealed the spiritual blindness of the Pharisees.
00:18Jesus gave the blind beggar new sight and new purpose.
00:22No longer was his life a struggle to survive.
00:25He became a living exhibit of what God could do.
00:28The purpose of the miracle extended beyond helping one person to empower the man to tell
00:34everyone who would listen that Jesus was the Christ who come from God.
00:39The Pharisees were so hung up on the day of the week Jesus chose to do the miracle that
00:44they rejected the man, his testimony, and the Messiah.
00:48How should I respond?
00:50Everyone wants to live a meaningful life.
00:53Living for your own importance like the Pharisees blinds you to the things that
00:58matter to God.
00:59On the other hand, obedience to Jesus' instructions opens the door to blessing and spiritual insight.
01:06The moment you decided to follow Jesus, your life had a new purpose and direction.
01:12Even the most difficult challenges become opportunities to display how God is working
01:18in your life.
01:19To whom can you tell your story this week?
01:21Some will listen, while others will question your belief in Jesus and the Bible.
01:27If you set your focus on what matters most, you'll look back on a life rich with meaning
01:33and purpose.
