Episode 85: Seeing is Believing, Believing is Seeing Part 1 (John 9:1–12)
Welcome to The Word Became Fresh, the Bible-teaching ministry of Pastor Sebastian Petz from The WORD Church LA.
Today we enter John 9 and the remarkable story where Jesus meets a man who has been blind from birth.
The disciples see a theological puzzle—"Who sinned, this man or his parents?"
But Jesus reframes the entire moment:
"It was not that this man sinned, or his parents, but that the works of God might be displayed in him."
In one sentence, Jesus teaches us that suffering is not always judgment—it is often the canvas on which God intends to display His glory. And with divine compassion, He moves toward the man, preparing to open not just physical eyes, but spiritual ones.
Today in Part 1, we look at the purpose behind this man’s suffering, and the hope we have in a Savior who never wastes pain.
