Today's Reading John 9.24-41

King James Version with Web Encyclopedia links: John 9

John 9.24-41
This chapter is centered around the blind man that Jesus healed. A second time the Jews summoned the blind man eho was healed. They said that the man who healed him was a sinner and that he should give glory to God. The blind man gave credit to Jesus despite the pressure from the Pharisees. He was adamant and said the facts speak for itself 'Whether he is a sinner or not, I do not know. One thing I do know, I was blind but now I see.' (verse 25) He asked them if they wanted to be his disciples. The Pharisees ended up throwing him out of the synagogue. The man was not only healed from his physical blindness but He saw the Messiah! He had faith to see the Messiah. His spiritual eyes were opened. Jesus gave some sobering words: In verse 39, Jesus said, "For judgment I have come into this world, so that the blind will see and those who see will become blind." What about us have we seen the Light of the world or are we wandering in the dark like the Pharisees?



Figure: Jesus, the Light of the World.
