The man born blind in John 9 was called to testify before the Pharisees a second time. He gave the same testimony but challenged them in their unbelief this time. They rejected him and kicked him out of the Synagogue. Jesus found him and treated him with grace.

The evidence of Jesus's miraculous healing of the blind man was apparent. Everyone could see it. However, some of the Pharisees refused to recognize it. And they had controlled the population so much with fear that the man's parents wouldn't testify to his healing.

Jesus healed the man born blind in John as a demonstration of his glory on this earth. People were confused by the change in this guy's life. Was he the man? He definitively answered their questions with, "I am the man!" His testimony brought glory to Jesus.

The question of John 9 is, "Who sinned that a man should be born blind?" Jesus answered that no specific sin caused his blindness. Sin, in general, brought about brokenness in the human condition. But this man's condition was tied to any particulars. Rather, his blindness provided an opportunity for the glory of God to be revealed in his healing.

Jesus is 100% divine and 100% man. Though he was humanly born into the world from Mary's womb, he always existed in his divinity. Therefore, he can give us eternal life because he is the source of that life.

Jesus told his opponents that they were not of their father Abraham because they rejected Him as their Lord. True children of Abraham are those who receive Christ by faith and rejoice in His coming.

If we abide in God's Word, we will know the truth, and the truth will set us free. Free from what? The power of sin. God's truth in Christ as it is found in his word is that which frees us from sin.

Jesus was clear about his true identitiy as God's Son. He was also clear about our need to trust and follow him. May we see him as he is through faith and share the good news of his story with everyone we know.

Jesus told the Pharisees that he didn't judge anyone during his earthly ministry because he came to save. He will, however, judge the wicked when he returns. Following him, we are called to judge no one, but we are also told to rightly evaluate all people and circumstances.

Jesus said that all of those who trust in him and drink from the living water that he gives will have rivers of living water flowing out from them into the world. This is a remarkable statement about how the cource of life is given to God's people through the ministry of the Spirit.
