Receive the Mighty Works of God in your Body
“As he passed by, he saw a man blind from birth. His disciples asked him, “Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?” Jesus answered, “Neither did this man sin, nor his parents; but, that the works of God might be revealed in him. I must work the works of him who sent me, while it is day. The night is coming, when no one can work. While I am in the world, I am the light of the world.” When he had said this, he spat on the ground, made mud with the saliva, anointed the blind man’s eyes with the mud, and said to him, “Go, wash in the pool of Siloam” (which means “Sent”). So he went away, washed, and came back seeing.” (John 9:1-7 WEB)
This whole world is fallen due to Adam’s sin. Why are people born blind or with other conditions? Jesus’ reply to His disciples tells us that it is not God punishing men for their sins.
Think of our DNA that links back all the way to Adam as a printer. No matter how perfectly drawn a piece of digital art is, if it comes out from a faulty printer, the result will be a blotchy art piece with imperfections.
Is this the fault of the artist? No, it is because the printer is faulty. Ever since Adam sinned, he has passed on seed (DNA) that is also corrupted by sin. Every baby inherits sin in their flesh. The sin-tainted DNA is like the faulty printer, messing up God’s perfect design.
The man who was born blind must have suffered greatly over the years. Perhaps he was bitter and angry with God, blaming Him for the health condition.
The blind man would never imagine that God loved him so much that He sent His Son to heal him in person.
After being healed, the blind man got saved. His story and declarations of faith are forever recorded as Scripture, and has inspired innumerable believers throughout time. Was it worth it to be born blind and have a personal encounter with Jesus like that, immortalized in Scripture? I feel that it is priceless.
God is not so petty that if we misunderstand Him, He will not be good to us. Look at Jesus—He was willing to be humiliated and blasphemed at the cross, so that we would be saved. When we look at Jesus, we will know Abba God’s heart. Jesus did nothing without first receiving instructions from the Father. As Jesus obeyed what He saw (in vision form), the Holy Spirit supplied the power for miracles. They worked perfectly in sync as one God.
If you were born with a condition that you hate, know that God did not design you this way. Sin that is passed down through the DNA is what distorts God’s beautiful design.
God wants you to receive His healing. We know that the price for your healing and restoration have been paid at the cross. Jesus’s blood was shed so that you can be made whole.
Jesus said that while He was in the world, He was the light of the world.
Since He has returned to Heaven, is there no more “light of the world”?
“You are the light of the world. A city located on a hill can’t be hidden. Neither do you light a lamp, and put it under a measuring basket, but on a stand; and it shines to all who are in the house. Even so, let your light shine before men; that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven.” (Matthew 5:14-16 WEB)
Jesus has passed on the baton to us. Now, you and I who have the Holy Spirit indwelling us, are the light of the world.
The Lord said that the man was allowed to be born blind so that the works of God might be revealed in him. Healing is a good work that glorifies God in Heaven.
As the light of the world, go forth in the same authority that Jesus had when He went about doing good, healing all who were oppressed by the devil. He did not heal anyone by His own divinity. He relied on the power of the Holy Spirit, so that we would have a pattern to follow.
When you pray for healing, expect God’s power for healing to be supplied. You can receive miracles in Jesus’ name.
When Jesus returns for us, our mortal bodies will be transformed into glorified bodies. Then, the ‘faulty printer’ will be gone. We will be revealed as beautiful masterpieces of art, just as our good God originally intended!

You are the Light of the World
“While I am in the world, I am the light of the world.”” (John 9:5 WEB)
Jesus gave a timeframe for Him to be “the light of the world”. While He was in the world, walking on earth, He was the light of the world.
But what about after He resurrected and ascended to Heaven? He passed on this title to us. Now we are the light of the world.
“You are the light of the world. A city located on a hill can’t be hidden. Neither do you light a lamp, and put it under a measuring basket, but on a stand; and it shines to all who are in the house. Even so, let your light shine before men; that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven.” (Matthew 5:14-16 WEB)
We are the light of the world not because we are so good in and of ourselves, but because Christ lives in us through the Holy Spirit. The Spirit is a glorious light that shines out from within us.
Notice how Jesus gave the illustration of a city on a hill. A city is fixed and cannot be moved, and it is on a hill—an elevated position. This is a picture of us being seated with Christ in Heaven, shining gloriously. It is from the posture that we can be light to this dark world.
You cannot be hidden—the Holy Spirit in you is too glorious. Wherever you go, you shine forth God’s light. However, you may block that light when you put a “measuring basket” over it by letting worldliness from the flesh take over in the way you conduct yourself. In that way, the light that others see is dimmed, even though the light within you is always shining.
How do we practically let our light light shine before men? Jesus said it is through good works. Our good works will cause people to glorify God in Heaven.
“I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.” (Galatians 2:20 KJV)
Christ lives in you, and that makes you the light of the world. It is no longer you (the old crucified self) who live, but Christ who lives in you (you are joined to Him to become one spirit).
We can be truly alive (with eternal life) because of the faith of the Son of God. He had perfect faith in the Father, submitted to the Father’s will, and gave Himself up on the cross so that we may live.
“Even if our Good News is veiled, it is veiled in those who perish; in whom the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelieving, that the light of the Good News of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should not dawn on them. For we don’t preach ourselves, but Christ Jesus as Lord, and ourselves as your servants for Jesus’ sake; seeing it is God who said, “Light will shine out of darkness,” who has shone in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.” (2 Corinthians 4:3-6 WEB)
You have light to illuminate this dark world that has been blinded by the veils of Satan’s lies. When you shine forth Christ in your words and actions, you reveal the truth of the Gospel to people, and they will want to get saved. After seeing the beauty of Jesus, there is no going back. Let your light shine!

拜登的就職典禮上,有個鎂光燈焦點,她是22歲年輕非裔詩人Amanda Gorman,也是有史以來美國總統就職典禮上朗讀詩歌的最年輕詩人,她下台後,美國媒體一致好評,說她的亮眼表現簡直偷走了整個舞台,她ig也硬生生從不到九萬人追蹤,到現在已經有將近兩百六十萬個追蹤者,機會來了,Amanda Gorman成功抓住,也是新的美國夢的代表。
Amanda Gorman來自自由的洛杉磯,去年從哈佛畢業,還在就學的時候就已經嶄露頭角,2017年成為美國第一位National Youth Poet Laureate得主,一直以來她的作品都聚焦在種族平等、反性騷擾等議題,點開影片看看她的朗誦,站在全美國人、全世界的人面前,她台風穩健、絲毫不怯場,用自己的詩作The Hill We Climb抓住了所有人的目光,但我們沒看出來的是,她從小患有語言障礙,無法發出部分字母的音,能這樣站在台上,不知道在台下花了多少努力。
Amanda Gorman在朗誦中強調:「美國人已經體驗過不願同甘共苦、分裂國家的那種力量,這股勢力為了拖延民主發展,也會導致國家被摧毀,但這項行動沒有成功,雖然民主可能遭到耽誤,但是卻永遠不會被擊敗。」她也說:「一個瘦巴巴的黑人女孩,身為奴隸後代,被單親媽媽扶養長大,但是卻能夢想有一天當上總統,現在正在為總統朗誦詩詞。」
五分多鐘的演講,得到全場鼓掌跟歡呼,希望這些激勵人心的詩句,能彌補美國被選舉撕裂的傷痕,我很喜歡她的詩作的結尾,就分享這段不負責翻譯給大家:
當晨曦來臨時 我們可以走出火焰帶來的陰影
When day comes, we step out of the shade of flame
絲毫不畏懼地 讓黎明綻放 只要我們自由釋放
And unafraid, the new dawn blooms as we free it
只要我們足夠勇敢 就永遠能見證光芒
For there is always light if only we’re brave enough to see it
只要我們足夠勇敢
If only we’re brave enough to be it
☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️
以下是Amanda Gorman 《 The Hill We Climb》全文 :
When day comes, we ask ourselves
Where can we find light in this never-ending shade
The loss we carry, a sea we must wade
We’ve braved the belly of the beast
We’ve learned that quiet isn’t always peace
And the norms and notions of what just is
Isn’t always justice
And yet the dawn is ours before we knew it
Somehow we do it
Somehow we’ve weathered and witnessed
A nation that isn’t broken but simply unfinished
We, the successors of a country and a time
Where a skinny black girl descended from slaves
And raised by a single mother
can dream of becoming president
only to find herself reciting for one
And yes we are far from polished, far from pristine
But that doesn’t mean
We are striving to form a union that is perfect
We are striving to forge a union with purpose
To compose a country committed
To all cultures, colors, characters, and conditions of man
And so we lift our gazes not to what stands between us
But what stands before us
We close the divide because we know
To put our future first
We must first put our differences aside
We lay down our arms
So we can reach out our arms to one another
We seek harm to none and harmony for all
Let the globe, if nothing else, say this is true:
That even as we grieved, we grew
That even as we hurt, we hoped
That even as we tired, we tried
That we’ll forever be tied together
Victorious not because we will never again know defeat
But because we will never again sow division
Scripture tells us to envision that everyone
Shall sit under their own vine and fig tree
And no one shall make them afraid
If we’re to live up to our own time,
Then victory won’t lighten the blade
But in all the bridges we’ve made
That is the promise to glade
The hill to climb if only we dare it
Because being American is more than a pride we inherit
It’s the past we step into and how we repair it
We’ve seen a force that would shatter our nation rather than share it,
Would destroy our country if it meant delaying democracy
And this effort very nearly succeeded.
But while democracy can be periodically delayed,
It can never be permanently defeated.
In this truth, in this faith we trust
For while we have our eyes on the future
History has its eyes on us.
This is the era of just redemption we feared
At its inception we did not feel prepared
To be the heirs of such a terrifying hour
But within it we found the power
To author a new chapter
To offer hope and laughter to ourselves
So while once we asked, how could we possibly prevail over catastrophe?
Now we assert: how could catastrophe possibly prevail over us?
We will not march back to what was but move to what shall be,
A country that is bruised but whole,
Benevolent but bold, fierce, and free
We will not be turned around or interrupted by intimidation
Because we know our inaction and inertia
Will be the inheritance of the next generation
Our blunders become their burdens but one thing is certain:
If we merge mercy with might and might with right
Then love becomes our legacy, and change our children’s birthright
So let us leave behind a country better than the one we were left
With every breath from my bronze, pounded chest
We will raise this wounded world into a wondrous one
We will rise from the gold-limbed hills of the west
We will rise from the windswept northeast
Where our forefathers first realized revolution
We will rise from the lake-rimmed cities of the Midwestern states
We will rise from the sunbaked south
We will rebuild, reconcile, and recover
In every known nook of our nation, in every corner called our country
Our people diverse and beautiful will emerge, battered and beautiful
When day comes, we step out of the shade of flame
And unafraid, the new dawn blooms as we free it
For there is always light if only we’re brave enough to see it
If only we’re brave enough to be it
