His (the blind man that was healed) answered, “We know that this is our son and that he was born blind; but how he now sees we do not know, nor do we know who opened his eyes. Ask him; he is of age, he will speak for himself.” His parents said this because they feared the Jews, for the Jews had already agreed that if anyone should confess Him to be Christ, he was to be put out of the synagogue. Therefore his parents said, “He is of age, ask him.” John 9:20 – 23
Lord fear sure can change us and cause us to say and do things we would never do. It can rule our lives. These parents were afraid and therefore they answered the way they did. They put the whole burden of what had happened on their son that had been healed. It should have been a happy time of celebration and it wasn’t. They were afraid.
Thank You Lord for our religious freedom.
Thank You that we are free to speak about You.
Thank You for my workplace where I can openly talk about You. I feel so blessed to have that privilege and opportunity.
Blessings from You Lord. Thank You.
Thank You Lord.
