Have you been enduring the type of heartbreak that's almost unbearable? That's paralyzing? That tempts you to simply quit and give up on the relationship? Maybe even on life itself?
What if I told you there was a higher purpose for your suffering? And that you have a unique opportunity? What if the pain you have ben living through has a purpose—that you not only become the miracle that you've been praying for, but to become hope for others?
I've been demonstrating the legal operation of miracles through the law of consent, the law of agreement—contract law. Today, I am analyzing an event documented in John 19: 1- 12.
[Author’s note. I take poetic license with the narration of these accounts. The quotations are paraphrases intended to add cultural depth for modern application. You should always examine the record for yourself to test the veracity of any teaching from these records.]
This account is of a man who was born blind. The record begins with the disciples asking Jesus questions about the man.
“Hey, why was this guy born blind? Was he cursed because of something that was in his bloodline? Did one of his parents bring a curse upon him to live like this?”
Blindness is one of the things that people fear the most. Imagin walking through life in utter darkness, unable to see people around you.
When I was in my second year of law school, I was diagnosed with an eye condition. It was terrifying. The issue with my eyesight had been very frustrating. And then I was told, “Hey, there is nothing that could be done to reverse this. Good luck.”
And as someone who navigates life not being able to see what everybody else sees, I can tell you how absolutely terrifying it is. Can you truly imagine from the standpoint of the man who was in total darkness? Even I, who, has the ability to see some, but not all of what everyone else sees—I can attest to how difficult life is without your sight.
So the disciples were trying to understand, empathizing with this man’s struggle.
Remarkably, Jesus's answer was simple. He said, “This suffering was for the benefit of other people to know and understand that I was sent to demonstrate the power of justice, law and love.”
Then Jesus goes to the man. He spat on the ground. He made this clay out of the dirt and his spit. then he puts it on the man's eyes. The man actually allows him to put this clay on his eyes. At this point, we can see a form of implied consent. Implied consent is the behavior of the parties (rather than words) which demonstrate agreement, thereby creating a contract.
After Jesus applies the clay, he tells the blind man, “Go and wash in a body of water called Siloam (meaning ‘sent’).” The man agreed by going to wash. Jesus made the offer of healing—first with the clay, then with his instruction. The man accepts—first by permitting the application of the clay, then by following the proposed instruction.
In essence, this was a two-part contract. The man agreed to both steps, then received his sight. Nevertheless, the purpose for his suffering wasn't about him.
The purpose for his suffering wasn't about sin in his bloodline.
The purpose for his suffering wasn't about a curse.
Rather, the purpose of this man’s suffering was not about him at all. He was sent—due to no fault of his own—to participate in a legal demonstration of the miraculous.
A lot of times we are suffering and afflicted. We are going through the stuff because life is an adventure of trial and error, ups and downs, highs and lows. Your suffering, quite frankly, ain't always about you.
I can tell you right now, facing the bar exam in two different states with a life-altering eye condition, and navigating a raggedy marriage was not about me.
It was about the hope for anyone else who would have physical challenges while chasing their dream.
About someone else who would have heartbreak in their marriage.
My suffering has always been about someone else who would be driven to a crisis of faith.
These things were never about me. They were always about you and the thousands of other marriages that are looking for answers. I was sent to those who have been waiting to hear the entire witness—
That miracles are not spooky and that love is a legal operation.
So if you will agree with the truth…
And you will accept the offer to come out of suffering silently…
Accept the truth that, in spite of how difficult life seems right now, you are loved beyond what you could ever imagine…
That you don't have to be a perpetual victim…
And agree that there is a PURPOSE for your suffering.
Then I am here to encourage you that accepting these truths is the path that leads to your freedom and to your joy.
At Law for Love, we help people fight fair to avoid the cost, combat and generational destruction caused by ignorance of the legal mechanics of love.
If you want to learn more and begin practicing the law of love from a place of hope..
And a place of accepting that your suffering ain't about you, but for someone else who is waiting for your courage…
And that someone else’s freedom is dependent on your becoming the miracle that you've been praying for…
Then join me at my next live seminar. I will conduct a legal training to show you exactly how the law totally transformed my own broken situation and brought me into a place where I became the miracle my marriage was waiting for.
And how understanding and applying the law will empower you to become a walking miracle—thriving in peace, joy and renewed hope.
Be blessed and encouraged,
Judge Char
