The Wrong Question

Walking down the street, Jesus saw a man blind from birth. His disciples asked, "Rabbi, who sinned: this man or his parents, causing him to be born blind?"

Jesus said, "You're asking the wrong question. You're looking for someone to blame. There is no such cause-effect here. Look instead for what God can do." John 9:1-5 Message

Jesus gives us an amazing model of how we should minister to people one on one. Most of the time we are searching for reasons why people are having a hard time or are sick or struggling. Honestly, there is a time and place for counseling but there is no time to point fingers.

Remember that Jesus healed everyone who asked and sometimes ones that didn't. This is grace in action. God wants us to be whole (mentally, physically, and spiritually). It isn't a question of "Is this person good enough?" The question is "Does God love them?" The answer is yes.
