Dear Brothers,
I thought of creating this Blog for convenience perspective. The only fact that changes would be that this would be accessible to all. However, no one will come to know until the Blog address is shared with them.
Do you like the idea?
I thought of this as really it is cumbersome to read the messages that lie down far in the trail emails. In my phone it only shows 1 alphabet stuck on another alphabet. :(.
If you think it is helping, we can use this blog and you can switch the notifications "On", to get the alerts.
I too am not a great blogger. :( But I think that this will help...
Lots of Love in CHRIST,

Good. Is it easy to navigate and find on Mobile phones?
DeleteBrothers - Another drawback is that the blogs are discarded automatically by blogspot if not used for some years.
ReplyDeleteIs it advisable to use it?
From my side it's a good option...

1. Chap 9
ReplyDeletea. Spit and mud became an anointment
b. Washing in Siloam made the beggar whole and gave him vision
i. When JESUS touches the mud, HE infuses power that never existed in it. HE is the source of Power. HE is able to do what we cannot ever imagine. The power was not in the spit, not in the mud, not in the water of the pool of Siloam. Not even in the faith of the Beggar. It was in the words of JESUS. If only HE would not have spoken, the beggar would not have been healed.
c. The same act hardened the hearts of the Pharisees. They sought righteousness by works and condemned JESUS of not complying with their style of works. JESUS healed on Sabbath.
d. The Pharisees were going to put anyone who acknowledged JESUS as CHRIST out of the synagogue. Much like our modern churches do.
Excerpts of a commentary which states
i. He should be put out of the synagogue — Comp. John 16:2, and Note on Luke 6:22. The Jews at a later date distinguished three kinds of excommunication. (1) The lightest continued for thirty days, and prescribed four cubits as a distance within which the person may not approach any one, not even wife or children; with this limitation, it did not make exclusion from the synagogue necessary. (2) The severer included absolute banishment from all religious meetings, and absolute giving up of intercourse with all persons, and was formally pronounced with curses. (3) The severest was a perpetual banishment from all meetings, and a practical exclusion from the fellowship of God’s people. It has been sometimes supposed that the words of Luke 6:22, (a) “separate you,” (b) “reproach you,” (c) “cast out your name,” refer to these gradations, but probably the only practice known in the time of our Lord was that which was later regarded as the intermediate form, falling short of perpetual banishment, but being, while the ban lasted, exclusion from all the cherished privileges of an Israelite.

e. V 34. They cast him out
i. V34: The Pharisees finally excommunicated this man from the synagogue; they cast him out of the communion with Israel and pronounced curses on him. They permanently put him out of Israel.
ii. V 35: Dear and gentle JESUS met him in his outcast situation. How loving is HE?? He met him in his low estate and received him in Glory. This blind man was received in GOD’s kingdom when he was cast out of the kingdom of the religious people.
f. V 40-41: The language JESUS uses here is so merciful and compassionate. HE says, if they say they see and are not blind, their guilt remains….
Praise God.
