Hello everyone, This is my blog, The Road to Sil'oam. You may be wondering, what Sil'oam is, or you may already know. The Pool of Sil'oam shows up in John 9. This is when Jesus heals the man who had been blind from birth. He spits on the ground and uses the mud to smear on the man's eyes. Jesus then sends this man to wash his eyes in the Pool of Sil'oam. This pool was most likely not right next to them. It was probably down the road, or somewhere in the area. The man was blind, and confused by what had just happened. It is not very easy to travel as a blind man, and It was doubtful that anyone cared to help him. Imagine how ridiculous he looked? He had mud smeared on his eyes, he was stumbling, frantically around. The road to Sil'oam is a lot like how our lives as Christ followers are, We're blind, we stumble, things aren't easy. We may even look ridiculous sometimes, just doing God's will. But what faith, and what hope must he have had in order to have followed Jesus' orders. Though the road to Sil'oam was a dark and scary one, there was a light he following, a promise to live for. Isn't that beautiful?
So this blog is to share with you little lessons about faith and life that I have learned on my own road to Si'loam.
God Bless,
