Worship at 7:80 p. m., led by the pastor, the subject, "Jesus, the Uni versal Stnbearer." m TBttffrl I ill - | ■ t The man believed and obeyed Jesus. And even though it was the Sabbath day, he washed his eyes in the pool Os Siloam and for the first time in his life he was able to see. As he rushed home to tell his parents, the neighbors gathered in amazement, hardly knowing whether it wa* he or tnmo stranger. in the opening of the eyes and the giving of light to the man born blind. Jesus makes no claim he can not substantiate. His claims, furthermore match our direct needs. The blind man’s supreme need was light, and Jesus met it as “the light of the world." A bit later when his spiritual leaders excommunicated him for his defense of Jesus, thus closing the door of religious privilege to him, Jesus presented hlmseif to him say ing “I am the door.” In that same connection, as a rebuke to the false . shepherds who cast this man out of the fold. Jesus made the claim “I am the good shepherd.’ Thus to his friends Mary and Martha in their be reavement he again met supreme need with supreme claim, "I am the resurrection and the life" and vindi cated the claim by the raising of Lazarus from the-dead*. , 1n the miracle befdrc Us, physical a-nd spiritual, that of the healed and that of the JKBjfwgßi • who opposed Christ and ex^KfWttirr'' cated the man he healed because of . his testimony in behalf of Jesus. The 5 first fell within the power of Christ I The man was so happy over his healing that he told everyone he could concerning Jesus. But religious leaders who opposed Jesus closed the door of their faith to the man, because Jesus had healed him on the Sabbath day Jesus then pre sented himself to the man saying: “I ant tr..- door ” And the manworshipped Jesus. GOLDEN TEXT—John 5 IV as the Hght of the world because it offered no resistance of unbelief: "When I am in the world, I am the light of the world. When he had thus spoken, he spat on the ground, and made clay of the spittle, and anoint ed his eyes with the clay, and said unto him, Go wash in the pool of Siloam ...He went away therefore, and washed ,and came seeing." Christ’s command was met by the hearty response of joyous faith and willing obedience, and his word car ried grace and power and blessing. The spiritual guides of this man re presents a far more malignant and stubborn type of blindness. They could pick no flaw with Christ's graci ous work of mercy except that it wa? done on the Sabbath day. But they viciously sought to malign Christ and stifle the testimony of the man he had healed, and, failing in this, "they cast him out.” When they said of Jesus "As for this man, we know not whence he is,” they evidenced a spiri tual blindness worse than that of the blind beggar. It was the blindness of stubborn, murderous unbelief. Eyes Sealed In Judgment. Upon these blind guides of the peo ple Jesus pronounced judgment in the stern, severe words: “For judgment came I unto the world, that they that see not may see; and that they that see may become blind." Thus he sealed the eyes of those who persis tently refused to see spiritually. They caught the sting of his sentence and demanded, “Are we also blind?” To j which Jesus replied, reaffirming his f judgment "If ye were blind, ye would i have no sin; but now ye say, We see: your if in remnjneth.” Truly, “there are none so blind as those who will not see.” For them even "the light of the world” can do nothing but officially and judicially seal the eyes they themselves have wilfully and persistently closed.
