King Jesus Christ is Messiah

 King Jesus Christ is Messiah

Positive Christianity Series Episode #354

The blind individual who received his sight testified that King Jesus Christ had opened his eyes and restored his sight. The humble individual confessed King Jesus Christ Messiah. The Pharisees did not want to hear the truth from the blind man that recovered his sight. The Pharisees lied and said that the blind man was not blind in order to prevent others from believing in King Jesus Christ and obtaining eternal salvation. The Pharisees did not want to believe in the true Messiah and in what the once blind man said. The incredulity of the Pharisees caused them to call the parents of the man who was once blind and question if he was born blind.

"The Pharisees did not believe that he had been blind and had received his sight, until they called the parents of the man who had received his sight and asked them, 'Is this your son, who you say was born blind? How then does he now see?' His parents 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.'"- John 9: 18-21

The Pharisees questioned the parents of the man that used to be blind. His parents said that he had been born blind yet did not say how his eyes were opened. This was because the Pharisees had said that if anyone confessed King Jesus Christ to be the Messiah, he was to be cast out of  the synagogue and ostracized. The Pharisees did not want anyone to confess King Jesus Christ Eternal LORD and Savior and cast out Jewish individuals from the synagogue out of envy. The Pharisees did not want individuals speaking the truth about King Jesus Christ being Messiah describing that they did not love GOD Almighty nor their Jewish bretheren. The blind man's parents did not say how his eyes were opened and told the Pharisees to ask him. This was because they did not want to be cast out of the synagogues. The blind man that received his sight described that King Jesus Christ is Messiah and did not care about being cast out of the synagogues for telling the truth about King Jesus Christ.

"(His parents said these things because they feared the Pharisees, for the Pharisees had already agreed that if anyone should confess Jesus to be the Christ, he was to be put out of the synagogue.) Therefore his parents said, 'He is of age; ask him.'"- John 9: 22-23

The humble and brave individual accepted and confessed King Jesus Christ Messiah despite the Pharisees having intimidated the people with being cast out of the synagogues for preaching King Jesus Christ Messiah. The brave individual refused to speak lies and described that the King of kings restored his sight. The humble individual received his sight and also eternal salvation for confessing King Jesus Christ Eternal King of kings. We learn that King Jesus Christ improves us and makes us better. The humble individual was cast out and expelled from the synagogue for worshiping King Jesus Christ. 

Despite the envy and negativity, the humble individual kept preaching King Jesus Christ LORD and Savior. The Pharisees envied that a fellow Jewish bretheren could have his sight restored, kept faith despite adversity, and recognized the true Messiah in King Jesus Christ. (The Pharisees did not rejoice seeing their fellow brother regain his sight describing the incredulity and envy of Phariseeism.) The Pharisees had seen how he did not get discouraged despite being blind and still cast the individual out of the synagogue describing their lack of empathy and filial love. The synagogue in that time was were the community gathered, and the Pharisees ostracized the individual by excluding him from the synagogue in order to prevent other Jewish individuals from believing in King Jesus Christ. Despite the negativity, the bold and humble individual preached King Jesus Christ Eternal LORD and Savior. We can persevere choosing to worship the true Messiah and not care about what false shepherds think. The brave man who recovered his sight decided to worship GOD Almighty instead of speaking lies based on fear and being ostracized. We can persevere speaking truth about King Jesus Christ being the true Messiah while avoiding impostors.

Learning Hebrew

Lo balim, לא בלים, means no idols or no idolatry in Hebrew. The Scriptures describe that we are meant to worship GOD Almighty above everything and not idols. The second commandment states that we are not supposed to worship idols. This is because idol worship leads to cowardice, envy, anger, resentments, coveting, and bitterness. Idol worship also leads to telling temporary lies, envy, lust, fornication, adultery, homosexuality, arrogance, abortions, slothfulness, intemperance, lack of faith, persecuting the righteous faithful, gangstalking, obstructing the preaching of the Gospel, deceit, deception, and hypocrisy. The idolators who practice wickedness are led to worse and worse sin. That is why we avoid idolatry and idol worshipers who have nothing good to offer. We avoid idolators who envy others and work for the snake. We also avoid idolatry by worshiping the true Messiah, King Jesus Christ.
