John 9:1-12

9:2-3 | The disciples saw an object of theological curiosity; Jesus saw a man in need.

9:4-7 | Jesus used the metaphors of night and day to highlight His identity as the light of the world. Then He brought light to this man by healing him.

9:6-7 | Jesus could have simply spoken and restored the man’s sight, but His instruction to go and wash in the pool of Siloam was perhaps intended to test his faith.

9:8-13 | The way the formerly blind man reported his encounter with Jesus provides a pattern for sharing faith: “Here is my story. This is who I was - blind, helpless, and hopless in my sin. Then I met Jesus, and this is how my life changed.” It is difficult for people to argue witha person’s story.
