I was so blind, but now I see ❤️
Day 10 -
Jesus has people he his blessing cast out of their synagogue. This is huge! Think about your main support structure. The thing or things person or persons that keep you afloat from day to day. Now imagine that a healer comes and heals you. Then, because you are now healer, imagine that your main support structure comes close and asks, but how were you healed? And then imagine, that simply for telling the truth about what happened you are viewed with contempt and you’re kicked out.
Like legit you were just like, some dude came and helped me and now look! I can see! And people were like, umm you’re out. You’re fired. You’re not wanted. You’re done. You cannot continue. You are not welcomed. We cast you out.
There are so many people that simply because they tell their truth but are in a space with a bunch of followers of Moses are cast out and told they are no longer welcomed. But Jesus welcomed him. For He healed him. Are we not also to be like Jesus and welcome those who have been cast out and told they are not welcomed simply because they have been healed? Simply because out God came down and whispered in their ear?
It’s wild to me that pastors feel so entitled to be public ally transphobic in their place of worship. It’s wild because Jesus would never cast them out. Jesus would never make them less then. And yet our wise elders feel the need to be Moses followers when the followers of Jesus know better and know more because we are welcoming, loving, and enduring. Transphobic people are not followers of the New Testament, they prefer the Old Testament scriptures because they want to see a world where the evil are punished, but they fail to realize that they are not following their Savior in all His works.
Defending transphobic people is viewed as demonic, just as defending the life of the adulterous woman was viewed as demonic. I will not apologize for it, even when my main support structure has fallen one to its call.
John 9:25-41 American Standard Version (ASV)
25 He therefore answered, Whether he is a sinner, I know not: one thing I know, that, whereas I was blind, now I see. 26 They said therefore unto him, What did he to thee? how opened he thine eyes? 27 He answered them, I told you even now, and ye did not hear; wherefore would ye hear it again? would ye also become his disciples? 28 And they reviled him, and said, Thou art his disciple; but we are disciples of Moses. 29 We know that God hath spoken unto Moses: but as for this man, we know not whence he is. 30 The man answered and said unto them, Why, herein is the marvel, that ye know not whence he is, and yet he opened mine eyes. 31 We know that God heareth not sinners: but if any man be a worshipper of God, and do his will, him he heareth. 32 Since the world began it was never heard that any one opened the eyes of a man born blind. 33 If this man were not from God, he could do nothing. 34 They answered and said unto him, Thou wast altogether born in sins, and dost thou teach us? And they cast him out.
35 Jesus heard that they had cast him out; and finding him, he said, Dost thou believe on [a]the Son of God? 36 He answered and said, And who is he, Lord, that I may believe on him? 37 Jesus said unto him, Thou hast both seen him, and he it is that speaketh with thee. 38 And he said, Lord, I believe. And he [b]worshipped him. 39 And Jesus said, For judgment came I into this world, that they that see not may see; and that they that see may become blind. 40 Those of the Pharisees who were with him heard these things, and said unto him, Are we also blind? 41 Jesus said unto them, If ye were blind, ye would have no sin: but now ye say, We see: your sin remaineth.

Jesus answered, “It was not that this man sinned, or his parents, but that the works of God might be displayed in him.
I love this, when we have struggles and difficulties it is not to punish us but so that God can work through us.
