John 9:16 NKJV
“Therefore some of the Pharisees said, “This Man is not from God, because He does not keep the Sabbath.” Others said, “How can a man who is a sinner do such signs?” And there was a division among them.”
John 9:16 NKJV
Jesus was accused by the Pharisees and Sadducees for not observing the sabbath.
This happened after Jesus healed the blind man on the sabbath.
Jesus did not come to break the law but to fulfil it. Jesus came to heal, deliver, and set the people free from bondage.
They judged Jesus because they had no revelation of the word of God.
They held on to the tradition. They did things to justify themselves and for their own glory.
Jesus looked for opportunities to help, love, heal, and save people but the Pharisees and Sadducees looked to elevate their status and dignity.
Where there is no revelation, there will be division. We need to depend on the Holy Spirit to reveal His truth.
Spiritual things cannot be discerned naturally and cannot be seen with our natural understanding.
We need to see through the eyes of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.
We need to see His word through His Spirit and His nature.
We don’t live life to judge one another to condemnation but we live life edifying each other in Christ Jesus.
Blessings
