in this video, you will learn the powerful lessons we can learn from John 9:1-41, how we should respond to life’s difficulties, and understand the reasons for suffering in this world.
The whole ninth chapter of John talks about the man who receives sight through the miraculous healing of Yahshua or Jesus Christ. As Jesus was passing by, he saw the blind man who was blind from birth. The disciples of Christ are quick to ask what caused the pitiable condition of the blind man. Is it because of his sin or the sin of his parents? Je...
During the time of Christ, the blind men and those people with physical infirmities are considered a burden to the society. Most of them are left by their family and end up begging food and money in the streets. They are looked down upon as among lowest class in the society. They have no wealth nor power for other people to respect them. However, J...
The man was blind from his birth. He has every reason to shake his fist in the face of God and question his goodness and love. However, what most people think as a curse has turned into a blessingin this man’s life. When asked by His disciples the reason why the man became blind, Jesus answered, so “that the works of God should be revealed in him.”...
The Jews in Christ’s day lived in the illusion that every suffering is caused directly by a sin they commit. While it is true that sin does lead to suffering, illness, and a lot of problems, in some cases, we suffer not because of our own doing. Jesus Christ made it very clear that it is not the man who sinned nor his parents. There’s a purpose why...
You might be wondering why Jesus Christ has to spit on the ground and make clay to anoint the man’s eye. From our perspective, it sounds weird and superstitious. Obviously, Christ won’t do anything without any cause or purpose. After all, Christ could have easily said a word or simply touch the man’s eye, but he didn’t. Instead, he used clay and hi...
Christ is a Man with a mission. He clearly knows His purpose right from the start. He got is priority straight and He will accomplish His goal without any doubt. Before healing the blind man, Christ mentioned in verse 4 and 5: “I must work the works of Him who sent Me while it is day; the night is coming when no one can work. As long as I am in the...
So many people today assumed that all they need to obtain salvation is to accept Christ and believe in Him. They thought that since grace abounds, they can now do whatever they wish as long as they “love” one another. If we are to have faith in God and His Son, we must couple it with obedience. Christ didn’t simply heal the blind man when he could ...
The Bible reveals how Satan deceives the whole world (Revelation 12:9). The Apostle Paul further explained: “In their case the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelievers, to keep them from seeing the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God” (II Corinthians 4:4). There’s a more dangerous type of blindness ...
Before healing the blind man, Christ explained: “As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world” (John 9:5). Today, we, the followers of Christ, are also called to be a light of the world. We read: “You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a ...
- And as Jesus passed by, he saw a man which was blind from his birth.
- And his disciples asked him, saying, Master, who did sin, this man, or his parents, that he was born blind?
- Jesus answered, Neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents: but that the works of God should be made manifest in him.
- I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work.
Jesus came to the blind man; the blind man did not come to Him. Even so, He expected the blind man to respond with faith-filled action. The healing would not happen unless the man responded with those faith-filled, obedient actions.
John's account of the healing of the man born blind is certainly a sign, for it points to Jesus the Healer and Light of the World. At the same time as it contrasts physical blindness that can be healed, with spiritual blindness that cannot.
Our Lord's encounter with a man who was born blind, and the question put to him by the disciples concerning the man's blindness, is a wonderfully helpful passage. It helps us face the question that all of us have asked at one time or another, either about ourselves or someone else: Why does God permit such suffering to occur?
