MY LIFE
This story about Jesus
healing the blind man also teaches me some lessons about my life.
GOD HAS A PURPOSE FOR MY
LIFE - Vss. 1-3, 5
God's purpose for this
blind man was that God would be revealed in him.
God also wants to reveal
His Son through me. John 10:10
GOD HAS A PLAN FOR MY
LIFE - Vss. 4, 6-7
Jesus said that He was
to work the works of God. Hebrews 10:7
That is God's plan for
my life as well. I am simply to do God's will. Romans 12:1-2
God's plan for the blind
man was to give him his sight. That was unique.
God's plan for me is
also unique, just for me.
GOD WANTS A PROCLAMATION
FROM MY LIFE - Vss. 8-11
Just as this man
proclaimed what Christ had done, I am also to proclaim what Christ has done for
me. Psalm 107:2

ON TIME
We all have the same
amount of time each day.
As Christians we should use
it wisely by serving Christ.
We should follow the
example of Jesus.
YOU HAVE A JOB -
OBLIGATION
"I must work the
works of him that sent me."
Walking - Ephesians
4:1-3, Ephesians 5:2, John
Working - Matthew 5:16,
Ephesians 2:10
Witnessing - Matthew
28:19-20, 1 Peter
DAY IS HERE -
"...while it is
day."
Now is the time that we
have to work for Christ.
We need to labor for him
while we are still able. Ephesians 5:15-17
NIGHT IS COMING -
OUTLOOK
"the night cometh when
no man can work."
Each of us have a
certain amount of time.
There will be a day when
it will be all over and every Christian will stand accountable to God.
Ephesians 5:10
Every unbeliever will
also stand accountable to God. Revelation 20:11-15
"Only one life,
twill soon be past. Only what's done for Christ will last."
