I'm going to pretend I can keep
this up here. Alright, if you would open your Bibles to John
chapter 9. It's something to consider that
what we're doing here this morning, that through the foolishness
of preaching, this is how God has chosen to save his people
and to reveal himself through the foolishness of preaching.
My title of the message and the issue then and the issue today
is, how were your eyes opened? How were your eyes opened? So
we're going to look at this chapter in John 9, but I'd like to read
the last three verses to start off here, starting in verse 39 of John
chapter 9. And Jesus said, for judgment
I am come into this world that they which see not might see,
and they which see might be made blind. And some of the Pharisees
which were with him heard these words and said unto him, are
we blind also? And Jesus said unto them, if
you were blind, you should have no sin. But now you say, we see. Therefore your sin remaineth. I wonder how many in here this
morning or the blind that he might make to see. But lest we
presume, how many in here are those which say, we see? That he said, I'm gonna make
you blind and your sin remains. Now, if we go to verse one of
this chapter, it opens with saying, and as Jesus passed by, he saw
a man which was blind from his birth. Jesus passed by. Keep that in your mind for a
moment, because let's look at why was he passing by right now. We find that at the end here
of chapter 8. I'll read you just a few select verses to summarize
what he said to these same people. Just before this, he said in
verse 37 of chapter 8, he said, my word has no place in you. And in verse 44, he says, you
of your father the devil, and the less of your father you'll
do, He was a murderer from the beginning and a bowed knot in
the truth because there's no truth in him. When he speaks
a lie, he speaks of his own, for he's a liar and the father
of it. And if you go back up to verse
three, he says, why don't you understand my speech? Even because
you cannot hear my word. And in verse 46, he says, which
of you convinces me of sin? And if I say the truth, why do
you not believe me? He that is of God heareth God's
words. You therefore hear them not,
because you are not of God." Down to verse 55. Yet you have
not known him, but I known him, speaking of the Father. And if
I should say, I know him not, I shall be a liar like unto you.
But I know him and keep his saying. Now into verse 58. And Jesus
said unto them, truly, truly, verily, verily, I say unto you,
before Abraham was, I am. Then they took up stones to cast
at him. But Jesus hid himself and went
out of the temple, going through the midst of them, and so passed
by. And then we find in chapter nine
he says, and as Jesus passed by. So this is where the Lord
is passing by and you could devote a message in and of itself just
to looking at these two types of passing by. Because I think
we can say these are two very different types of passing by.
One is in divine justice against them. The other is, as we'll
see, a passing by of mercy. It says in verse 1, as Jesus
passed by, he saw a man which was blind from his birth. Boy,
there's a commentary on our spiritual condition, isn't it? Blind from
his birth. We are born in our sins, spiritually
dead because of our father Adam. We were born that way. We didn't
do anything to get that way. We were born that way. I had
no control over how I was born, and I had no control over my
spiritual state. I was born into it. In verse
2 it says, And his disciples asked him, saying, Master, who
did sin? this man or his parents that
he was born blind? Boy, this just shows us, I mean,
the disciples spent all this time with the Lord up to this
point, had seen the miracles, had seen his work, and yet they're
thinking, now, what's the reason he's blind? Obviously, somebody's
done something. Somebody did something wrong.
There's some sin under the carpet or something vile that they've
done, and that's why he wound up that way. That doesn't speak
to the nature of who the Lord has revealed himself to be, but
yet it just shows, apart from him revealing himself to us and
keeping us, how easily we're gonna go to one side or the other,
which all still come back to one thing, salvation by works. This is in our nature, it's in
our fallen nature. If we do good and do this, we
will get that. And so that's what they're asking
the Lord here when they see this man. Let's go on reading. And
Jesus answered, neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents,
but that the works of God should be made manifest in him. I must
work the works of him that sent me while it is day, because the
night cometh when no man can work. What is the work that he
must do? Because that's what he just said,
I must work the works of him that sent me. What is the work
that he must do? Do you think it was any coincidence
he had these words of judgment to the Pharisees, to those who
thought they were somebody and had means to attain unto the
salvation of God? Do you think there's any coincidence
he said these things? And then is now saying, I must
work the works. And it happened to be he just
passed by this blind man sitting there as he had to escape this
mob who was going to throw rocks at him to kill him after what
he told him. It was no coincidence. The works that he came to do
are the works of his father. What were the works the father
gave him? That of all that he should give him, he shouldn't
lose one. Not one will be lost. The Lord's
works are that he's come to save his people. That's what we heard
about in the Sunday school lesson this morning. They shall call
his name Jesus and he shall save his people from their sins. And
that's what he came to do. And so when he passed by this
man, it was no coincidence that he came by him. Let's read on. And as long as I'm in the world,
I am the light of the world. And when he had thus spoken,
he spat on the ground and he made clay of the spittle and
anointed the eyes of the blind man with the clay. And here the
Lord, I think, is showing us another side. So he's shown us
our character of who we are in the beginning in saying this
man blind from his birth. He's now showing us a glimpse
of who he really is because he's already told the people before
this that wanted to kill him for saying, I am, before Abraham
was I am. I am the great I am of the scriptures.
I am God himself. He's showing us also here he's
the creator. Isn't that what we're made of?
the clay and the dirt. When our bodies die, they turn
right back to clay and the dirt from where they came. And yet
we find here, the great creator is showing us a glimpse of who
it was that created all this out of the clay. And so he makes
the spittle out of the clay, rubs it on the man's eyes. And
now what does he say in verse seven? And he said unto him,
go and wash in the pool of Siloam, which is by interpretation sent. And he went his way, therefore,
and washed, and he came seeing. Go wash in the pool of Siloam.
And he went his way, and he washed, and he came seeing. A few questions
for you. First, what if he wouldn't wash? Would his sight have been restored
to him if he just said, You know, I'm okay with what you've done
thus far. What if he wouldn't have washed? Because it said
he had to wash before he would come see. What if this man had
also said, the pool of Siloam, that's a filthy pool. I don't
want to go wash in that old pool. And that's all the way across
the city. There are two or three other pools that I could get
to before I go to that one. I'm going to go wash my face
in one of those instead of that filthy pool of Siloam. What if
he had said that? Question, could the pool of Siloam
make the blind to see? No. Would he have seen had he
not washed in the pool of Siloam? No. What then made him whole? It had something to do with believing
the Lord's word was true, first, and second, It had something
to do with him following him in whatever path the Lord caused
him to go. Could the pool of Siloam have
restored the sight to the blind? It could not. But apart from
him washing in the pool the Lord told him to go to, he would not
have seen. Let me give you some more examples
of this. Did all men have to sell all that they owned to follow
Christ? We know that's not true from
the scriptures. But the rich young ruler did. The Lord told
him, he said, good master, what shall I do that I can work the
works of God and basically follow you? And what did he say to him?
He said, you go sell all that you own and then you come back
and follow me. Not all men were told they had
to do that to follow Christ, but he was. The rich young ruler
had to sell all that he owned because he was covetous and he
loved money. That's why he was told that.
Next, did all lepers have to wash in the Jordan to be made
clean from their leprosy? No, but Naaman did. Naaman was a proud man, and the
Lord told him, by Elijah's servant, you go wash in that filthy Jordan
River, and that's the only way that you're gonna be made clean.
Could the Jordan River cleanse lepers from leprosy? No, would
Naaman have been clean Had he not bathed in the Jordan River?
No. Did all men have to submit to
the baptism of John? No, they didn't. But the Pharisees
did. The Pharisees was proud. They
loved their high seats, they loved their religion, they loved
the system of religion. They had to go out into the desert,
out away from the temple and the works and the system of religion,
and go have a guy in a loincloth bathe them down in a dirty pool.
That's the only way that you're gonna be made clean. Did everyone
have to do that? No, but the Pharisees did. because
they love their righteousness. The key being to all these things
is God will meet you at your point of rebellion. Whatever
that is, it's different from every man and woman. He will
meet you at your point of rebellion. Can you be saved and not know
Calvinism? Total depravity, unconditional
election, limited atonement, irresistible grace, The perseverance
of the saints. Can you be saved and not know
Calvinism? Yes, but you cannot be saved
apart from it. Now let's look at what I have
to say about this. Look over in Luke chapter 23. I'm gonna
show you an example here to back up what I'm saying. This is the story of when the
Lord was on the cross. And he was nailed next to two
thieves, and at this time these thieves had railed on him. They
were cursing him and mocking him. And in verse 40, what does
it say? Or let's start in 39. One of
the male factors which were hanged railed on him, saying, If thou
be Christ, save us, or save thyself and us. But the other answering
rebuked him. He was cursing him before, but
now we find he rebuked him, saying, Dost not thou fear God, seeing
thou art in the same condemnation? So what do we find here about
the thief? He was given what? Irresistible grace. Something
happened before, because before he was railing on the Lord, and
now he was saying, don't you fear God? Something had to give
him that grace to believe that. That's the grace of the Holy
Spirit. He saw that one hanging next to him as the Son of God,
God of very gods himself. Don't you fear God? And in verse
41, and we indeed justly, we're in the same condemnation, for
we are receiving the due reward of our deeds. But this man had
done nothing amiss. That sounds a lot like total
depravity to me. He had some idea of the condition that he
was in and that he was getting exactly what he deserved. He
was not asking for mercy. He was saying, this man has done
nothing. He's being punished unjustly.
But we, we're getting, we're getting exactly what we deserve.
We deserve to be here. We deserve to be punished. Sounds
a lot like total depravity to me. And in verse 42, and he said
to Jesus, Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom.
He knew that if Christ died for him, he was saved. He believed
in the limited atonement. If Christ chose him, if Christ
died for him, he would be saved. And he would have the confidence
that it wasn't just something in the moment, the Lord would
carry it on. So he believed in the limited atonement. He believed
in the perseverance of the saints through Christ. He believed all
those things. But what did he know about election?
A minute ago, he was railing on Christ. He saw himself as
totally brave. The Holy Spirit had to open his
eyes to show him that. He saw that if the Lord saved
him, that he would be saved and he would be always saved. He
saw those things. But what did the thief know about
election? Yet, in the next verse we find,
the Lord said unto him, verily I say unto thee today, thou shalt
be with me in paradise. We can't find, in scriptures
that I'm aware of at least, a more sure word. of salvation than
what this man was given right here. Today, you will be with
me in paradise. He had never heard of election.
Now, what's the point? Had it been presented to him,
because somebody may be thinking, I really have a problem with
election and maybe this is a way for me to say that I can believe
the gospel and not accept election. That is not what this is about.
What this is to say is had he heard of election because of
the spirit that was within him, he would have believed it. We
know that because he wouldn't have looked at the Lord and called
him Lord. He wouldn't have believed those
things about himself apart that Lord had revealed that in his
heart. So had it been presented to him, The only way that you
can be saved is if God chose you before the foundation of
the world. That's the only way you can be saved. Because if
he had to look on you and anything that you've done as a reason
to save you, he wouldn't find it. He would have said, yes,
Lord, that's the truth. He would have said that. He would
have believed it because of the spirit within him. So a man can
be saved in spite of knowing the election. In this case, we
see that. Don't let it be because you don't
like it or because you don't want to believe it, because it's
been presented to you. So you, my friend, if you find
that this is you, you must be lead election and you must believe
it or you will not be saved. Just like Naaman would not have
been cleansed had he not bathed in that dirty Jordan River. He
was told, you have to go to the river to be cleansed, and in
the same way, you've been told just now, I've told you, this
is what election is. Apart from the Lord choosing
you and the Lord Jesus Christ before the foundation of the
earth, you won't be saved. Apart from you knowing, having
the Lord do that for you, you won't be. We're called on to
believe that, because that's in the Lord's word. Simply knowing
all about this doctrine, these doctrines that I've gone through
that what we would refer to as Calvinism, if you will, it won't
save anyone simply just knowing what these are, the facts. You
can know all the ins and outs of a doctrine and totally miss
Christ. How many people know way more
than you or I as far as building a quote scripture or know doctrines
or confessions of faith? All these things. I don't know
any of those things, but I do know Christ, and you can have
all the doctrine in Ms. Christ. A doctrine cannot save
you. They're just words. It's a system.
Trusting a doctrine is no different than these Pharisees that he
was talking to that trusted in the law. They knew the facts.
They knew the rules. That's what they trusted in.
They were trusting in the law. The focus here is on the doctrine. It's not on Christ. If I'm saved,
I'm saved by a Savior. Isn't that what we heard about
this morning? They shall call His name Jesus and He shall save
His people from their sins? I'm saved by a Savior, not knowledge
of a doctrine. And if we go back to John 9,
this was the issue for the Pharisees. This is why he did this miracle
in front of them right now, and in verse 10, after he was made
to see, therefore the Pharisees said unto him, how were thine
eyes opened? This is the question. How were
thine eyes opened? Well, he answers them and said,
a man that is called Jesus, made clay, anointing my eyes and said
unto me, go to the pool of Siloam and wash. And I went and washed
and I received sight. Then said they unto him, where
is he? He said, I don't know. So they ask him, how were your
eyes opened? And he tells them, look at verse
15. And again, the Pharisees also
ask him how he had received his sight. And he said unto them,
he put clay on my eyes to wash, and now I see. Go to verse 17. They said unto the blind man
again, what sayest thou of him that hath opened thine eyes?
So they're asking him over and over and over, how were your
eyes opened? And he keeps telling them and
telling them and telling them. Why did they keep asking? What
was it that they didn't understand? What didn't they know about this?
Because frankly, no one's upset that his eyes were open. Everybody's
happy to have a miracle, but the issue is, how were your eyes
open? It's not that your eyes were
open, the issue, how were they open? The whole of a man's salvation
comes down to about one issue. There's one issue that will keep
creeping up in a man's salvation, it's this. Who gets the glory? Who gets the glory in this? This
is why they kept asking, how were your eyes opened? Who gets
the glory? Verse 17 again, he says, what
sayest thou of him that hath opened thine eyes? What did he
to thee? This was the issue. He was the
issue, and he's always the issue once we find out who he is. Who
gets the glory? You see, it's the same in salvation. You know, you can go to any church
in this city and tell somebody, I'm saved. And you know what? They're gonna be happy for you,
and you all get along just fine. Tell them how you got saved.
Tell them how you're saved. Tell them that apart from God
choosing me before the foundation of the world, I never would have
been saved. I am the most vile, disgusting
thing before God that I could possibly be. And that's all I
can do, and that's all I can think. I've never kept the law,
and all I've ever done is sin. And it's only through his mercy
that he condescended to pull a beggar up out of the dunghill.
You tell them that's who they are. And that apart from Him
doing that for you, all men everywhere deserve to be punished. And it's
only by His grace and His mercy that we're not. And that Christ
died for only the people whom the Father gave Him. You tell
them that, we're not gonna agree anymore on why we're happy together
that I got saved. You see, because the issue is,
how did it happen? And the issue here is, how were
your eyes opened? That's why they kept asking. Who gets the glory? Was this
man seeking God? Was there anything that he was
doing in order for the Lord to pass by him and say, well, I
think I'm gonna choose him to pick him out above the others
that were around? No. Was he calling out for help
like Brian Barnum made it, saying, have mercy upon me, thou son
of David? No, we don't have any evidence to that, he's just sitting
there. Well, maybe he deserved it more than other blind people.
No, we don't have any evidence to that either. Those of you
whom the Lord's opened your eyes, has your experience been any
different? Is there anything in you that would cause the Lord
to do something for you as opposed to somebody else? No, not if
I'm honest with myself. If the Lord is pleased to open
your eyes, You'll see him for who he is. You'll see him as
God's anointed son, heir to all things, who has all power and
all authority over me, over my thoughts, over the things of
this world, and over who is saved. We'll see him as God's anointed
son who is holy. That means he's not like you
or I. That means he doesn't sin. That means he doesn't think evil
thoughts. That means that he's accepted
before the Father. He's not like you or I. We'll
see him as faithful and true. Which one of his promises has
he failed to bring forward? Has he failed to keep? I have promises. My word is very important to
me. My character is. There are things that I intend
to do. I have no power to accomplish it, though. I try, it just didn't
work out that time. That doesn't happen with him.
All of his promises, everything that he's promised, it's come
true because he has the power to bring it to pass. If our eyes
are open, we'll have no problem in letting go of a doctrine to
save us. The system of knowledge, these
things I want to learn, things I want to know. Calvinism, a
doctrine, it doesn't save. Christ saves. That's how we're
saved. You arrive at your doctrine,
your understanding of these things through a knowledge of Christ,
not the other way around. I have to see who He is to understand
who I am. And in understanding who I am,
that shows me my great need of Him. When you see Him, you will
see that you are totally depraved and that you wouldn't be saved
if He didn't do something for you and if He didn't elect you.
You'll see that His blood actually atones. God is satisfied and
I have no reason for shame to come in His presence because
of what He done for me. And if you believe, you'll know
that it's nothing in you. You didn't choose Him. He chose
you and He called you and He opened your eyes. That's the
only way that I can be saved. God called me to believe and
I must be saved because it was who that died. It's Christ that
died. He'll give us a faith that's
never failing because it's in Christ. So we're to forget what
we think we know and go to him and ask him to reveal himself.
And you'll look back as Job did and say, you know, I've heard
of you through the hearing of the ear. I knew a bunch of facts,
I knew a bunch of things I'd heard, but now my eye sees. I see you very differently than
what I'd heard before. Now I see you as someone, not
that just is a savior, but you're my savior. You're someone who
died for sins as you died for my sins, and I must have you
and I must know you. So we're to ask the Lord to reveal
himself. And if you go down to verse 24,
it says, then again they called the man that was blind. And guess
what they're gonna ask him again. They wanna know why. Who opened
your eyes? And they said, give God the praise.
We know that this man is a sinner. Tell us again, how do you see? And see, and they're content
here. Let's just call this give God the praise. What they were
saying here is we're content if you can just say God did this
for you. but not him, not Jesus of Nazareth,
not this one. We're content we can just call
it God here. We can all agree to disagree
and just say we'll call it God that is the reason your eyes
opened, but not him. Tell us again. This shows how
blind that the religious of this world are then and today because
they seek to take the glory away from the son. Everything in works
salvation, whether it be you doing something for God to show
favor upon you or you glorying in your choosing to believe,
is salvation by works and is no different then as it is today.
They didn't know that the Son is God. He just told them before
Abraham was, I am. And those who understood what
he said, they hated him for it and that's why they sought to
kill him. Is this the Christ that's preached today? The Christ
that men sought to kill because of what he said? Well, what's
his response in verse 25? He answered and said, whether
he be a sinner or no, I know not, I don't know. But here's
one thing that I do know. Whereas before I was blind, but
now I see. Isn't this the response of all
to whom Christ has done something for? How were you saved? When were you saved? What moment? I don't know. All I know is before,
I didn't believe. I never saw my need of Christ.
I understood maybe the facts, but what the book said, but I
never saw my need of him. But now I do. Now I see my need
of him. How he did that, I don't know.
But all I know is before I didn't believe, and now I do. And now
I trust him and see him as not just a person, the person is
my salvation itself. I don't know, but now I do. This was the response of everyone.
If he didn't redeem me, I would still be in need of a ransom.
Thank God he ransomed me. And in verse 26, what do they
say? Then they said unto him, what did he to thee? How opened
he thine eyes? Is this like the fifth or sixth
time they've asked him at this point? You can see this is the
issue. They hated Christ then, and they
hate him today. And they don't want to hear this
answer. How opened he thine eyes? And in verse 27, he says what?
He answered them, I have told you already, and you didn't hear
me. Would you hear it again? Will you also be his disciples?
To one, when he says, would you hear it again, it's another barb
of offense, something of great offense. Would you hear again?
Jesus opened my eyes, and that's the reason I see. Would you hear
it again? But to the other, would you hear
it again? Yeah, I'd hear it again. Tell me the old, old story of
Jesus and his love. Isn't that what we're here doing
again? Tell it to me again. Not words of offense, but these
are words of consolation, words of love. Tell it to me again,
I want to hear it again. over and over. And it doesn't
get old because I keep on hearing about how the Lord cleansed me
of my sins and that how I can stand before God and not have
to feel like there's something I gotta do to keep okay with
Him. That's been done because of what
Christ did. Tell me again. They reviled him
in verse 28. Thou art his disciple, but we're
Moses' disciples. We know that God spake unto Moses,
but as for this fellow, we know not from whence he is. The man
answered and said unto them, Why, herein is a marvelous thing
that you know not from whence he is, yet he hath opened mine
eyes. Now we know that God heareth
not sinners. But if any man be a worshiper of God, and doeth
his will, him heareth. Since the world began, was it
not heard that any man opened the eyes of one that was born
blind? If this man were not of God, he could do nothing. They
answered him and said unto him, Thou wast altogether born in
sins, and dost thou teach us? And they cast him out. Best thing
that could have happened to him. And now, in verse 35, We have
the question of questions. Jesus heard that they'd cast
him out, and when he found him, he said unto him, dost thou believe
on the Son of God? Dost thou believe on the Son
of God? This is the question of questions.
And you notice he didn't ask him about his faith, He didn't
ask him, do you have your doctrine straight? Do you know all the
facts straight? Do you know all these things? Do you subscribe
to this confession of faith? He didn't ask him what he was
going to give up for Christ, or what he had given up in his
life for Christ. People love to tell you that.
He didn't ask him about his works. He didn't ask him about what
he would do. He didn't ask him any of those things. He asked
him one question, dost thou believe on the Son of God? What do I
believe on him for? I have to believe on him for
a cleansing of my sins. I believe on him for that, that
that's the only way that I can be clean. I believe on him because
I need a righteousness that I don't have to be ashamed of, that's
actually my righteousness, that He gives to me, but it's mine.
It's not just something that we're pretending like it's mine,
it's actually mine. And I can stand before God and
know I'm clean and that He can look upon me and not be angry
because He knows what I did, but He's forgiving me for Christ's
sake, but I really know what you did. That's not it at all.
He's taken away all my sins. He says, your sins and iniquities
are removed from you as far as the east is from the west. How
far is the east from the west? It's as far as it can be. Go
in one direction in the west. How far is the east from the
west? It's no closer. It's always as far as it can
be from wherever I'm at. Our sins and our iniquities were
taken away, and the Lord did that for us. We believe on him
for that. We believe on him for strength
to continue. If you know anything about yourself, you know how
fickle you are, and you know how easily drawn to plenty of
just stupid things that don't matter, that will take me away
from seeing Christ. Or you find something in the
scriptures you want to make an issue of. People talk about,
was the world created in seven 24-hour days, or was it done
in 4.2 billion years that they think the earth is that old?
Which was it? Well, that's not the issue. The
issue is Christ. How were your eyes opened? How
were you saved? We can so easily be drawn into
things that just don't matter. I believe on him to keep me looking
to Christ, to keep my faith in him, because if he doesn't, it'll
fall away, and I will get fixated on something that doesn't matter
and be drawn away from the gospel because of my pride, because
of my ignorance. Lord, keep me. Don't let me fall
away. Give me a faith that's unmovable.
And so what does he say? Do you believe on the Son of
God? He answered and said, who is he, Lord, that I might believe
on him? Salvation's a person. Who is
he, Lord? Who is the Son of God that I
might believe on him? And Jesus said unto him, thou
hast both seen him, and it is he that talketh with thee. And
he said, Lord, I believe, and he worshiped him. Notice the
Lord had to reveal himself before he was able to worship him. You
can't worship a God who has not revealed himself to you any more
than you can come back from a place you've never been. Apart from
the Lord revealing who he is, I won't find him. Aren't you
thankful that he's revealed himself to men? Aren't you thankful that
he reveals himself through his word even today? Aren't you thankful
that he quickens our spirits, gives us life, and causes us
to see him in his word? Well, we're right back where
we began. For judgment I've come into this
world that they which see might not see, and they which see might
be made blind. Those who say they see, they
know the doctrine. They're trusting in the facts.
They're trusting in the mechanism of learning and getting all these
things straight. They're looking to those things.
They're not in need of a guide. I'm not needing the foolishness
of preaching to show me the way to salvation through Christ.
The Lord said, those people are going to be made blind and your
sin remaineth. But to those which see not, the
Lord said, those are the ones that I'm gonna give sight to,
just like this blind man. The blind man really doesn't
know how the sight comes, but that really doesn't matter, does
it? He's just happy that he can see. Let's not focus on the means,
let's focus on the Lord gave me sight. Let's focus on that. He reveals himself, and when
we're able to see, it's him revealing himself, and we can see him in
his word. I've read, you know, somebody read something in the
back this morning, and I saw a picture of Christ in a way
that I hadn't seen it before. Now, I've read that and read
that and read that, but apart from the Lord revealing himself
through his word, we're blind. This is a closed book. We're
to burn all our bridges and forget what we know, and we're to call
on the Lord Jesus Christ to save us. This is all we have. He's all we have. and we're to
become as those who see not. Forget everything we think we
know. Lord, reveal yourself to me. Show me who you are. I don't
wanna believe in you because I'm comfortable with the salvation
or I'm comfortable if this is what my family believes or doesn't
believe. Show me who you are through your
word. I need to see you in truth that the Lord of glory might
make you to see because the issue then and the issue now is How
will your eyes open?
