It is a common misconception that people suffer illness because of sin. Jesus tells us this is not true. However, sometimes "God in his mysterious and wise providence sometimes allows his children to go through hardship and suffering so that they can experience God's mercy and power in delivering them." Sickness, blindness, cancer are all natural consequences of living in a fallen world. But God is always there to deliver us.
Wow, this poor beggar. He is healed, yet the Pharisees try to refute it. When he gives an elegant accounting of his believe and his healing, he is cast out. Yikes. Sometimes when we stand up for God we will be cast out. Does that mean we should turn tail and run? Absolutely not. For as we can see, Jesus never casts us out.
So, hold on to Jesus & stand up for Him.
