"Some of the Pharisees said, “This man is not from God, for he does not keep the Sabbath.” But others said, “How can a man who is a sinner do such signs?” And there was a division among them." -- John 9:16
There are those who see Jesus as a wonderful Savior and there are those who only see religious confusion. Some people are open to God breaking into their lives and others have closed their hearts. So, in every generation Jesus brings division.
The Pharisees were completely convinced of their religious viewpoint and allowed for nothing new. To put it simply, they had no room for God. Still others were moved by the works of Jesus and were open to God interrupting their lives. Jesus is the watershed for the hearts of men. Some are closed and others are opened.
As we give thought to the heart condition, is your heart opened or closed my friend? Are you looking for God to do great and unexpected things in your life? Will you move out of your comfort zone if the Lord prods you? Are you a statue that's fixed in concrete or are you a servant that follows His call? Jesus divides... where do you find yourself?
