Just before Jesus proclaimed to the crowd, "I Am the Gate," He miraculously healed a man who had been born blind. That healing really stunned the people who knew the blind man and were familiar with his disability. Why was there such a strong reaction to this particular healing? Because it was more than a healing, it was creating! And yes, that is stunning! And yes, it was the perfect lead-in for Jesus' "I AM" statement found in John 10.
