YOU ARE MORE IMPORTANT THAN YOU KNOW
John 9:35 "Jesus heard that they had cast him out; and when he had found him, he said unto him, Dost thou believe on the Son of God?"
Most persons underestimate the magnitude of God's love and care for humanity , we consider ourselves as not being important enough to deserve a special place in God's plan.However , the contrary is the truth as revealed in the above verse of scripture.If you were the only person on earth , Jesus would have still gone to the cross for you.
By seeking for this man in John 9:35 ,Jesus brought him into the center stage of God's love . Jesus sought this man out when others had forsaken him. The acceptance and recognition of a person by Jesus is worth more than everything this world has to offer This is what launches a person into prominence with overflowing joy amidst difficulties. Where our sufferings in Christ abound, then the comfort and consolation of Christ abounds much more.Those who for fear of rejection by men refuse to share the message of God's kingdom, do not have Jesus seeking them out (Jn. 9:22).They prefer the company of the hypocritical scribes and Pharisees than honour from God.
Even though the believer in Christ is redeemed and delivered from many afflictions that were as a result of sin and its power, we are not exempted from experiencing 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 upon us as a result of our allegiance to Christ.
Rejection for righteousness' sake is not something we can avoid (2 Tim. 3:12). We must remember that as we live godly lives, suffering will follow. These trials of our faith will result in a glorious promotion and praise at the appearing of Jesus Christ (1 Pet. 1:7). Jesus' comfort, strength, help, and love overshadows our trials if we make Him the center of our affection(Heb. 12:2)
Prayer : Heavenly Father forgive me of my sins against you, I believe Jesus Christ died and was raised again for my salvation, I receive him as lord and saviour and receive grace for promotion and boldness to declare God's righteous counsel in the midst of persecution in Jesus name..
