Everywhere Jesus went He touched lives

John 9:1-7; 35-38

A Man Born Blind Receives Sight

 1 Now as Jesus passed by, He saw a man who was blind from birth.

Jesus seldom wasted time on frivolous matters

2 And His disciples asked Him, saying, “Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?”

It's often easy to look for someone or something to blame

3 Jesus answered, “Neither this man nor his parents sinned, but that the works of God should be revealed in him.

Jesus saw every need as an opportunity to touch lives

4 I must work the works of Him who sent Me while it is day; the night is coming when no one can work. 5 As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.”
6 When He had said these things, He spat on the ground and made clay with the saliva; and He anointed the eyes of the blind man with the clay. 7 And He said to him, “Go, wash in the pool of Siloam” (which is translated, Sent). So he went and washed, and came back seeing.

many churches aren't touching lives because they don't vary or change methods.  Jesus ignored critics, questioners & deniers, he didn't let his ministry be hindered.

True Vision and True Blindness
  
35 Jesus heard that they had cast him out; and when He had found him, He said to him, “Do you believe in the Son of God?”
36 He answered and said, “Who is He, Lord, that I may believe in Him?”
37 And Jesus said to him, “You have both seen Him and it is He who is talking with you.”
38 Then he said, “Lord, I believe!” And he worshiped Him.

The most difficult part of any ministry is the follow-up & nurturing.
