    Day 3: John 9:35-41


    Stories: For Judgment I have come into this world
    Curiosities:
    1) Why did Jesus immediately ask the blind man if he believed in the “Son of Man?” What a strange thing to ask the man. How would the man have known what Jesus was asking?
    2) Jesus tells the Pharisees that they would actually be better off if they were blind, but because they say they can see they are now held guilty and to a higher standard.
    Paradoxes: One of the greatest ongoing paradoxes of John, Jesus says here that it was for the very specific reason of judgment that He came into the world. Why does Jesus use the idea of judgment in so many different ways in John?

    Day 2: John 9:13-34 Stories: The Blind man questioned Curiosities: 1) The Pharisees were angry because putting mud on the man’s eyes would break their (not the Bible’s) notion of what constituted work on a Sabbath. 2) It is interesting to note that at this point some of the Pharisees were willing to side with Jesus […]

    Day 2: John 9:13-34


    Stories: The Blind man questioned
    Curiosities:
    1) The Pharisees were angry because putting mud on the man’s eyes would break their (not the Bible’s) notion of what constituted work on a Sabbath.
    2) It is interesting to note that at this point some of the Pharisees were willing to side with Jesus after this miracle.
    3) The blind man’s parents were afraid of being thrown out of the synagogue because of Jesus – it was already well known the prejudice the leaders had against Him at this time.
    4) “You were steeped in sin at birth.” This is an amazing statement against this man that reaffirms the prevailing theology of sickness. The leaders knew the man was healed and they were angry about how and why he would have been healed.
    Paradoxes: This notion of not knowing where Jesus came from comes up again. Why didn’t Jesus ever set the record straight?

  • Week 5 Day 1 – John 9:1-12

    Day 1: John 9:1-12 Stories: The man born blind healed Curiosities: 1) Why did Jesus’ disciples ask if the blind man sinned or his parents? Did Jesus rebuke them for that thinking? 2) Why did Jesus need the spit mud to heal him? Why the washing in the pool? This harkens back to Naaman’s healing. 3) […]

    Day 1: John 9:1-12


    Stories: The man born blind healed
    Curiosities:
    1) Why did Jesus’ disciples ask if the blind man sinned or his parents? Did Jesus rebuke them for that thinking?
    2) Why did Jesus need the spit mud to heal him? Why the washing in the pool? This harkens back to Naaman’s healing.
    3) This man stands out more than any other healing in John because he was born blind. The prevailing theology was that it was sin that caused his blindness and the fact that he was now healed messed with that notion.
    Paradoxes: Why would a good God allow a man to live with blindness from birth so that one day decades later he could see so that God could be glorified? Does this seem cruel?

  • Week 4 Day 5 – John 8:31-59

    Day 5: John 8:31-59 Stories: Before Abraham Was, I Am Curiosities: 1) Jesus’ words to them, that they are the children of their father the devil, seems extremely harsh. 2) Why would they accuse Jesus of being demon-possessed? Why a Samaritan? 3) “I Am” is the very distinct name for God that all these Pharisees understood […]

    Day 5: John 8:31-59


    Stories: Before Abraham Was, I Am
    Curiosities:
    1) Jesus’ words to them, that they are the children of their father the devil, seems extremely harsh.
    2) Why would they accuse Jesus of being demon-possessed? Why a Samaritan?
    3) “I Am” is the very distinct name for God that all these Pharisees understood very well. They knew by Jesus saying this He was claiming to be God and it enraged them enough to immediately pick up stones to kill Him, proving what He had just accused them of. “I Am” is the name of God that means He always was, is and always will be.
    Paradoxes: Why do the Pharisees say first they are Abraham’s children and then almost immediately say their only father is God Himself?
