Seven Steps to Walk in His Shoes and Not Issues- Step Six: Grow Up

In this message, we're challenged to grow up spiritually before we grow old. The central story of Jesus healing the blind man in John 9 serves as a profound metaphor for our own spiritual blindness and the transformative power of Christ's touch. We're reminded that often, we're more concerned with finding fault or assigning blame than seeking healing and transformation. The message urges us to move beyond the 'why me?' mentality to ask 'what now?', embracing the opportunity for God to work in our lives regardless of our past. This shift in perspective is crucial for our spiritual maturity and effectiveness in God's kingdom. The story also highlights how religious traditions and preconceptions can blind us to God's work, encouraging us to 'reject religious rhetoric and rethink righteous results.' We're called to examine the fruit of people's lives rather than judging based on our own limited understanding or traditions. This message is a wake-up call for all of us to submit our sight to the 'Light of the World,' allowing Jesus to transform not just our circumstances, but our very way of seeing and understanding life and faith.
