Too often we hear God's Word and turn away and soon forget what was said. I submit, this is because we think we know it all. We think we are right no matter what anyone else says, yes, even God. These verses show the problems with humans knowing how.
It is my objective to admonish you to take an active part in preserving God's truths and passing them on to your future generations. Make it your goal to preserve a legacy for Christ. May we concern ourselves with every parent's duty.

It is my objective to review the story in our text while zeroing in on the condition of the man who received healing. Though he gained physical sight, and had pretty good assessment of Jesus, he remained spiritually blind. How tragic.
