You Can Break the Cycle – Part 2

Having said this, he spit on the ground, made some mud with the saliva, and put it on the man’s eyes. John 9:6

Dr. Samuel Rodriguez, president of the National Hispanic Christian Leadership Conference, points out that your DNA is in your saliva and that when Jesus spat, this blind man received a divine DNA transfer. He says that Jesus didn’t place the saliva on the man’s eyes, but on the clay—the thing from which the man was made. In other words, Jesus went back to the root of his problem! Understand this: God doesn’t merely treat your symptoms; He goes back to the source of your problem in order to set you free from it. To change the fruit, He changes the root. This man never had the ability to see; he was born blind and needed a creative miracle. That calls for a divine DNA transfer, making you what you never were, and giving you what you never had. Our God is awesome, isn’t He? Do you know why Jesus came? ‘…To bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives and release from darkness for the prisoners, to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor…to comfort all who mourn…to bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of joy instead of mourning, and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair…’ (Isaiah 61:1-3). It doesn’t matter whether your parents contributed to your problem or you simply made bad choices in life, Jesus can set you free, make you whole, and give you a new life. Jesus didn’t blame this man or his parents. That’s because He’s not in the condemnation business; He’s in the transformation business.

Prayer
Heavenly Father, thank You for going back to the roots of my problems to transform me into a New Being in You. In Jesus’ Name, Amen
