A Man Born Blind; Now Seeing

Then again called they the man that was blind, and said unto him, “Give God the praise: we know that this man is a sinner.”  He answered and said, “Whether He be a sinner or no, I know not: one thing I know, that, whereas I was blind, now I see.”  Then said they to Him again, “What did He to thee? How opened He thine eyes?”  He answered them, “I have told you already, and ye did not hear: wherefore would ye hear it again? Will ye also be His disciples?”  Then they reviled Him, and said, “Thou art His disciple; but we are Moses’ disciples.  We know that God spake unto Moses: as for this fellow, we know not from whence He is.”  The man answered and said unto them, “Why herein is a marvellous thing, that ye know not from whence He is, and yet He hath opened mine eyes. Now we know that God heareth not sinners: but if any man be a worshipper of God, and doeth His will, him He heareth.  Since the world began was it not heard that any man opened the eyes of one that was born blind.  If this man were not of God, he could do nothing.”  They answered and said unto him, Thou wast altogether born in sins, and dost thou teach us? And they cast him out.
John 9:24-34

Be sure to read this whole story of the blind man.  He was born blind, then as a  grown man is healed by the creator of eyes.  Healed by Him who is the Christ.

This man who was born blind sees much better than those who thought they knew the truth of the identity of Jesus.  There was no record of any one born blind who had been made to see.

When we come into this world as a baby we are born spiritually dead, and blind to the things of God.  That is until God in His grace gives us sight and light that we might see the truth of who Jesus is.  Read Ephesians 2:1-10.

I once was blind, but now I see.  I was lost, and now I am found.  How about you?
