As we begin our study of John 9, the man born blind, Sharon reminds us that John’s Gospel contains 7 signs. Sharon shows how the disciples were passing moral judgement against the man born blind, asking if it was his or his parent’s sin that caused his blindness. Sharon then takes us to the story of Job, who lost his possessions, his health and his children, yet never sinned by cursing God. As with the man born blind, Job’s sufferings were not without meaning but instead were an opportunity for the Lord to be magnified.
