Bible Question: If this passage is literal why do we not see sight restored to the blind, hearing to the deaf and a cure for cancer. Surely these things have been asked in the name of Jesus and for the glorification of the Father |
Bible Answer: Dear Chearie, I think "Barnes Commentary" on John 14: 13 explains somewhat; [Whatsoever ye shall ask] This promise referred particularly to the apostles in their work of spreading the gospel; it is, however, true of all Christians, if what they ask is in faith, and according to the will of God, James 1:6; 1 John 5:14. (from Barnes' Notes, Electronic Database. Copyright (c) 1997 by Biblesoft) 1 John 5:14 And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us: KJV James 1:6 6 But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed. KJV We can ask in Christ name and to God' glory but is it Gods will, remember Christs prayer in the Garden of Gethsemane asking for the "cup to be removed" if possible, "not my will but thy will be done" I might add that so often we put time frames on what God can do and will do, We see only this temporal setting we live in. Today the blind are seeing and the deaf are hearing. Arnie |
