Week 13 (The Miracles Of Jesus) – Day 3: Healing a Blind Man

Day 63 – Healing a Blind Man – John 9:1-41

Jesus shows the kingdom has sway over physical healing.  Jesus views this type of healing as a sign that he also has sway over sin as well.

In particular this story shows the two types of reactions to God’s kingdom.  We see the movement of the cured blind man through not knowing who cured him to declaring Jesus as Lord. (v 38)  See that his journey is not smooth and is fraught with danger.

On the other hand, the religious authorities, who should have welcomed the kingdom, do not.  Instead, they carp over rules broken or placing sin on others.

Let us revel in the joy of God’s kingdom.

In Christ,
Randy
