In John 9 Jesus Heals a man Born Blind
The disciples assume he's blind because of some specific sin, but Jesus rejects such a simplistic approach and explains that there can be higher purposes: that God would be glorified as He works through Jesus to heal
God will be glorified, even in our suffering as we let him work. Sometimes the glory is through deliverance
Sometimes the glory is by our display of Christian character. God will ultimately be glorified as one day we have complete healing.
The man get healed as he obeys Jesus' instructions. For all of us, healing comes through obedience
The man's neighbours, and the Pharisees are like many people who want to ask the “How? ” questions but want to avoid the “Who?”
At the end of the chapter, Jesus seeks out the blind man so he can reveal his identity. Stepping into the light reveals who Jesus is: the Son of Man. Staying out of the light reveals our blindness
Are you blind? Can you see who Jesus is?
