Your life is a diamond in the capable hands of a master jeweler.
When the jewel is observed there are sides to it that are called facets [Facet - one side of something many-sided, especially of a cut gem].
Here are the FACETS of the problem that is an unrealized diamond.
I. The Soul With The Problem. v.22
I. The Soul With The Problem. v.22
22 And he cometh to Bethsaida; and they bring a blind man unto him, and besought him to touch him.
The darkness he faced daily.
The Light he sought that day.
II. The Saviour And The Problem. vs.22-23
II. The Saviour And The Problem. vs.22-23
His healing was planned. V.23
23 And he took the blind man by the hand, and led him out of the town; and when he had spit on his eyes, and put his hands upon him, he asked him if he saw ought.
His healing was postponed. V.24
24 And he looked up, and said, I see men as trees, walking.
Why was there a delay?
Why is there a delay in what God is doing in your life?
Maybe There is something else God is doing.
1 Corinthians 13:9–12
9 For we know in part, and we prophesy in part.
10 But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away.
(v.13) ...faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity.
Illustration - Sometimes we pray for a loved one. They do not get healed. They die. If we are always healed here we would never go to Heaven.
Here are the FACETS of the problem that is an unrealized diamond.
I. The Soul With The Problem. v.22
II. The Saviour And The Problem. vs.22-23
III. The Solution To The Problem. vs.25-26
III. The Solution To The Problem. vs.25-26
Jesus finishes what He starts. V.25
25 After that he put his hands again upon his eyes, and made him look up: and he was restored, and saw every man clearly.
Dont worry about the delay, Jesus finishes what He starts.
Dont lose faith, the Lord is in control.
Jesus asks one simple thing. V.26
26 And he sent him away to his house, saying, Neither go into the town, nor tell it to any in the town.
What has the Lord told you to do?
Are you in the way of something being completed?
Conclusion:
How many times have you been incomplete because somebody withheld something from you?
Now why would you do that to someone else?
