Finder's Question

[S] John 9:35 --
 35Jesus heard that they had put him out, and finding him, He said, "Do you believe in the Son of Man?"

[O] After Jesus healed the man born blind, he was questioned multiple times by the Jewish leaders who couldn't accept this because they were too focused on the rituals of the Sabbath day when Jesus made the clay to heal this man.  Even when this man was brought to the Pharisees by others they were blind to see the miraculous power so engulfed in their own world of religion so they mistreat this man and when he gets kicked out Jesus finds him and affirms his belief by asking the question in this passage.  Jesus knows where I am physically, mentally, spiritually, and He will come find me to comfort me and to encourage me to carry on with my faith in Him.

[A] Even when this world and friends around me may reject me, I must hold on to the fact that Jesus will not forget me especially during those times and He will come find me to comfort and encourage me.

[P] Dear Jesus, from the beginning when Adam & Eve sinned, You're the one who initiated to find them, and today that has not changed -- You continue to come and search me out whenever I'm in need or whenever I'm walking the path leading away from You.  So great to know this because I will have to lean on this with my faith many more times in the future.  In Your name.  Amen.
