Can giving sight to one blind man enlighten the entire world? When Jesus cured a man of blindness, He divided the community, and forced the people to question, "Who is the bearer of God's power?" The Pharisees believed that authority lies in the status quo and the teachings of the past, while Jesus' disciples believed that authority lies in the people who act out God's virtues. Through this story, we learn that only through The Logos can a person come to consciousness and elevate others out of blind unconsciousness.
