DO YOUR PART

John 9:6-7

…he spit on the ground. He made some mud and smeared it on the man’s eyes. Then he said, “Go and wash off the mud in the Siloam Pool.” The man went and washed in Siloam… When he had washed off the mud, he could see.

Let’s take a look at Jesus’ method of healing this man born blind. Dumura siya sa lupa. Pinaghalo ang kanyang laway at ang alikabok. “Yucky!” sabi ng iba. Pero, may mangyayaring himala. Kung ikaw yung bulag, huwag kang pa-yucky-yucky. Napaka-importante ng mangyayari. Ano ang isang elemento na ginamit ng Panginoon sa himala? Yung mismong galing sa kanya: his spit. Pattern yan sa Biblia. Pinaghahalo yung galing sa taas at galing dito sa baba. Napakahalaga ng contact between the human and the divine. Jesus was going to re-create the life of this man. Because he was born like that, he had to be born again in another dimension. Kailangan maging iba siya.

Then Jesus gave instructions, and the patient obeys. So the man goes home well, singing, “What a Difference a Day Makes.” Biruin mo, sa araw na yun, wala siyang kamalay-malay na maiiba ang buhay nya kasi nakakakita na siya! God’s word heals when obeyed. Sabi ng iba, “Nasa Dios ang awa, nasa tao ang gawa.” Totoo! Naawa si Hesus, pero pinagawa din yung tao. Hindi laging puro sa Dios ang gawa, sa tao ang ngawa. Walang mangyayaring himala pag ganun. You always do your part. Kayang-kaya tayong pagalingin ng Dios pero ganun na lang ang pagpapahalaga nya sa atin. Kahit hindi kailangan, isinasali tayo ng Dios sa proseso. Obedience is important in healing.
