Good morning, everyone!
Today I read John 9-10.
In today's reading, Jesus heals a man who had been blind from birth.
The elders and Pharisees call the man to them to ask how he can now see, and when he tells them it was Jesus, they begin to grumble about blasphemy, because Jesus healed on the Sabbath.
So, they call the man's parents, asking them if their son was really blind. When this is confirmed, they ask how he was healed. The parents tell them to ask their son, because he is of age and can speak for himself, because they didn't want to be thrown out of the synagogue if the Pharisees thought they were followers of Jesus.
So the Pharisees call the man again and ask the same questions.
The man replied that he had already told them the truth, and that they really didn't want to hear the truth.
John 9:25 - He [the formerly blind man] then answered, "Whether He is a sinner, I do not know; one thing I do know, that though I was blind, now I see."
One thing I do know. Though I was blind, now I see.
One thing I do know. Though I was a slave to sin, now I am free.
One thing I do know. Though once my eyes were closed, now they are open.
All because of Jesus.
I hope you'll join me tomorrow when I read John 11-12.
