“Go, wash in the pool of Siloam”

"Then He (Jesus) told him, “Go, wash in the pool of Siloam” (which means Sent). So the man went and washed, and came back seeing. " John 9:7

He obeyed the Lord's words and what a reward he received! How long did he take to get to the pool. What thoughts would be running through your head? You've never seen anything in your life. Next to impossible to imagine. It really doesn't matter why Jesus asked him to wash in the pool of Siloam, does it(?). But Jesus wanted him to partake in this work with Jesus. What Jesus asks from us all in exchange for eternal life is the same as this story. It's a small thing we have to do. But we HAVE to do it if we want the reward. Just like this man, he had to do something. And that was, he needed to obey the Lord.

Jesus says, "Why do you call Me ‘Lord, Lord,’ but not do what I say?" (Luke 6:46)

"I will show you what he is like who comes to Me and hears My words and acts on them: He is like a man building a house, who dug down deep and laid his foundation on the rock. When the flood came, the torrent crashed against that house but could not shake it, because it was well built. But the one who hears My words and does not act on them is like a man who built his house on ground without a foundation. The torrent crashed against that house, and immediately it fell—and great was its destruction.” Luke 6:47-49

If we hear God's words but don't act on them, we will be destroyed.

"Everyone who does not heed His words will be completely cut off from among the people.’" Acts 3:23

When are we going to take God's word seriously. Or, when are we going to take God's word MORE seriously, so we can GROW. We can always do more and go further when it comes to living our lives for Christ. Let's pray to God now in the name of His Anointed Son Jesus. And ask Him to help us become more able in our service to Him. Amen
