Can you trust Jesus?

It is hard to know if you can trust a person. I had been working with a guy that I really liked. Spontaneous guy, gives energy and is funny. I involved him in all the work I did, and we became a sort of friends. I trusted him.

Unfortunately, I found out I could not trust him with finances. It was a hard lesson. And I could have known. He had a history of financial failures in the past…

The lesson for me is that I need to look at the fruits of people. What has their life produced?

Let’s look at Jesus’ life in the text of today.

It is the story of a man born blind who was healed on the Sabbath (Jewish Sunday). According to the leaders you could not work on a Sunday. So what Jesus did by making mud, was wrong in their eyes. But over and over again, Jesus’ life makes it clear that he is not about rules, but about showing God’s character; caring about people, showing his love.

The healed man is called to the stage twice. The leaders don’t want to believe the man. When he becomes tired of the interviews, he finally says, "Look, this is what happened. I was blind and now I can see. Look at the fruits of what Jesus did, he must be someone special."

After he suggests to them that they might become followers of Jesus too, he is thrown out.

Then Jesus meets the healed man again and he comforts him. This is such a clear sign of Jesus’ character. He is really interested and involved in people.

No matter what you are dealing with in your life, entrust yourself to Jesus. He will show his grace and give you his peace! You will see the fruits of him in your life.
