Pride is a mega sin because it puts you in competition with God.

But Dr. Tony Evans says humility can open the door to God's blessings.

God will give more to those who are humble enough to receive it.

This is the alternative broadcast featuring the timeless biblical teachings from the archives of Dr. Tony Evans.

Life can often feel like navigating a maze, uncertainties, and obstacles at every turn.

But in the Gospel of John, we discover that Jesus not only illuminates our path, but also guides us

through it. In today's lesson, Dr. Evans unpacks this powerful truth for us.

Let's join him as he begins in the ninth chapter of John.

Jesus passes by, and he comes across, verse one, a man who is blind from birth.

There was the thought during that day that if a person had a birth defect of serious nature,

that is because the person did something wrong or the parents did something wrong that transferred to the child.

Jesus makes a powerful statement in verses three and four, he says, neither this man's sin

nor his parents. It was so that the works of God might be displayed in him. Now this is very

important theologically because what it means is God allows negatives to accomplish positives.

Nobody's sinned.

So that means that every defect is not because of something done wrong.

However, when God allows it, he allows it.

He says specifically that the works of God may be displayed in him.

So there was a divine reason for a human defect.

And so we must work the works of him, verse four, sent me as long as it is day. Night is coming when no man can work.

While I am in the world, I am the light of the world.

He brings this idea of day and night.
