Healing the Man Born Blind (John 9:1-41)

Jun 15, 2025    Doug Crawford

In John 9, we encounter a powerful story of physical and spiritual blindness that challenges us to examine our own perception of God's work in our lives. The narrative of Jesus healing a man born blind isn't just about a miraculous cure, but a profound lesson on recognizing God's purposes even in our struggles. We're reminded that our difficulties aren't always a result of sin, but can be opportunities for God's glory to be revealed. This account invites us to consider: Are we, like the Pharisees, spiritually blind to God's work right before our eyes? Or are we, like the healed man, willing to testify to what God has done, even in the face of opposition? Let's reflect on areas where we might be resisting God's truth and ask Him to open our spiritual eyes, that we may see His hand at work in unexpected ways.
