Unexplainable Changes

(John 9:25)

I was in the room when my friend Bob went up to the speaker for the day and made a fairly startling statement. He took his three young children with him, pointed to them, and said to this speaker, "If it weren’t for you, these children wouldn’t be here.” Needless to say, that gentleman looked at him very curiously. But that was not an overstatement. And it attested to a dramatic miracle my friend had experienced.

Bob went on to explain what had happened the night this speaker spoke at a men’s rally my friend had attended. The speaker had presented the difference Jesus Christ can make when he comes into a person’s life. That night Bob decided to commit his life to this Jesus.

Bob and his wife had been headed for a divorce. There was little hope that their marriage would have a future. But something miraculous began that night of Bob’s spiritual commitment – his wife got a new husband! Oh, he looked a lot like the old one, but he acted like a new man. He started becoming the selfless husband he had never been able to be before. Their love was reborn. And speaking of born, three children came along after that – born from a love that had been on the verge of dying. If you ask Bob how his marriage was saved and transformed, he’d probably give you a simple, one-word answer – Jesus.

This Jesus is the same Person who can bring into your life a miraculous change – a change that only He can make. The story of a blind man Jesus healed is the story of millions of people across the centuries – it’s my story; it’s the story of many people I know.

Our word for today from the Word of God comes from John 9:25 where this now healed blind man is being interrogated by religious leaders who hate Jesus and are trying to smear Him for healing on the Sabbath. As they press the healed man for his opinion of Jesus, he answers with these compelling words – “One thing I know. I was blind but now I see!” Like my friend Bob, this man said, “I can’t answer all your questions about Jesus. All I can tell you is that there are changes in my life that are unexplainable – except for Jesus!”

I know so many people who would tell you the same thing. My friends whose addictions and appetite for what addicted them were gone overnight . . . the people who were victims of serious hurt who don’t see themselves as victims anymore –they’re healers of other wounded people . . . those who were once sexually irresponsible who are living pure today . . . the volcanic tempers Jesus has tamed . . . the sins of previous generations that have been miraculously stopped in this generation – by Jesus.

And it may finally be time for you to experience the miraculous, life-changing power of Jesus Christ. You’re missing so much when you’re missing Jesus. You belong to Him when you acknowledge to Him that you’ve run your own life long enough . . . when you put all your trust in Jesus and His death for all your sins on the cross. At that moment, Jesus comes into your life – and changes what no one else can ever change.

Are you ready to begin this relationship with Jesus? Tell Him that. And, if you would, allow me to send you the booklet I wrote about it called Yours For Life. Just let me know you want it.

You’ve probably heard that old hymn, “Amazing Grace” – “I once was lost but now am found – was blind but now I see.” That can be you . . . today.
