JOHN 9:35

TEXT: JOHN 9:35
ANDREW WOMMACK MESSAGE FOR TODAY
It is one thing to seek God; it is quite another thing to have God seek you. Jesus sought this man out when others had forsaken him.
The acceptance of Jesus is worth more than everything this world has to offer This is what enables the believer to endure and even leap for joy amidst persecution.
When our sufferings in Christ abound, then the consolation of Christ abounds much more. Notice that this man’s parents, who knew the truth, but refused to share it for fear of persecution, did not have Jesus seeking them out (Jn. 9:22). They chose the company of the hypocritical scribes and Pharisees, which is exactly what they got.
Even though the believer is redeemed and delivered from many afflictions that were a result of sin and its power, we are still called to partake in what the scriptures call the ‘sufferings or afflictions of Christ’ (2 Cor. 1:5; Col. 1:24).
However, these afflictions are not sickness and poverty as some religious teachings suggest. These afflictions are described as the ‘fellowship of sufferings’ that the believer will encounter for doing the will of God, or the sufferings brought on by one’s allegiance to Christ.
Persecution for righteousness’ sake is not something that we can rebuke (2 Tim. 3:12). We must remember that as we live godly lives, suffering will follow.
The Apostle Peter reminds us that these trials of our faith will result in praise, honor and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ (1 Pet. 1:7). Jesus’ comfort, strength, help, and love are ready to ‘overflow’ into every ‘trial’ that we face if we will only look to Him (Heb. 12:2).
