JOHN 9 The Blind becomes Seeing
If there is one story in the book of John that is captivating,it is this one. Why is that? John expertly reveals truth vs false, honor vs dishonor and more.Jesus uses this time to teach all of us the power of the living Word and how you can be like the blind seeing man too. So step back in time to the city of Jerusalem with its pomp and circumstance, with the power of the religious establishment that will reveal its obstinacy, its stubbornness, its unbelief when a miracle is standing before them. Their pride is revealed in spades and their lack of humility ranks above all.
Some truths to take away after you have read and digested this story with its power, obedience of one man, rejection of the religious establishment and the love of the Savior to all of us who are just like this blind man. We are blind spiritually and in need of Jesus healing ministry. Walk with this man to the pool of Siloam and wash your eyes. Return to Jesus seeing Him in all of His glory and bow in adoration as He asks: do you believe and you humbly say yes!
