John 9:25 - One thing I do know, I was blind and now I see
- Many people would have not stopped to chat
- Most would have averted eye contact
- Jews saw blindness as punishment for some sin - John 9:2
- Jesus saw an opportunity to heal and teach - so God might be displayed in his life - John 9:3
- Jesus acted but not predictably - felt something moist and hear go wash
- Blind man simply went - true blind obedience
Man's responses:
- Simple honest - I was blind but now I see - John 9:25
- Childlike innocence - Do you want to become his disciples too? - John 9:27
- Boldness - John 9:27
Jesus did more than just open the blind man's eyes that day; he open his heart as well
