Disability Doesn’t Separate from God – Explore how Jesus welcomed and healed those with physical or cognitive differences
📜 KEY SCRIPTURE
John 9:3 (NIV)
“Neither this man nor his parents sinned,” said Jesus, “but this happened so that the works of God might be displayed in him.”
💬 ELLEN G WHITE QUOTATION
“God does not exclude anyone because of physical or cognitive differences. Jesus showed through His ministry that those whom the world may see as ‘separate’ are precious in His sight – He welcomed them, healed them, and called them to be part of His kingdom. Their lives reveal God’s power to work through every circumstance, and they are vital members of His family.”
