Treasuring God - John 9:13-34

Wow!  The Jews really grilled (and grilled and grilled) this poor guy who's only issue had been being born blind and having been healed!  They question and accused and questioned some more and even dragged in his mom and dad! 

The Lord had healed him.  He didn't understand all of the how's and why's; all he knew was that he was blind and now he could see. 

On the other had, the Pharisees had a TON of questions!  They seem to be posed to the man, but in actual amity, they were asked of the Lord:

 - Why did this man heal on the Sabbath?  He "worked" on the Sabbath, and everyone know that Sabbath working of any kind is wrong!

 - Is this guy for real?  Was he really born blind?  Get his folks in here so we can confirm this story!

 - Are you really giving the glory to God?  You absolutely can't be because there is no way you could have been healed by this man!

 - Okay, tell us one more time, what exactly happened? 

Questions presented to The Lord are okay, but ridiculous questions with clear answered that we in our sinful attitude refuse to see are not okay!  

Thank you, Lord, that even when you know that I won't always completely understand what you are doing, or how you will do it, or why you will do it, you will let me come to you with questions.  Lord, please keep my heart soft and willing to listen and able to trust.
