The Gospel of John - Believe in a Bigger God

Read John 9:13-19

Some of the Pharisees said, “This man Jesus is not from God, for he is working on the Sabbath.” Others said, “But how could an ordinary sinner do such miraculous signs?” So there was a deep division of opinion among them. – John 9:16 (NLT)

God is able to do infinitely more than we might ask or think (Ephesians 3:20). This is often difficult for Christians to believe. Too often we think that God can only work the way we have seen him work before, and in our minds we limit what we will accept as being the work of God. This is the Pharisees’ problem here. They know the command to not work on the Sabbath, but they lose track of the reason for the command – that continual work without rest is not good for us. The command was not meant to prevent us from doing good to or for others. So today ask God to enlarge your understanding and enable you to believe in a bigger God, because our God is infinitely bigger than we can imagine.
