John 9:8-41
The man born blind, healed by Christ in this chapter, represents the spiritual condition of the unsaved person (we give six ways this is true). The Lord's merciful dealings with the poor, blind beggar present a 7-step picture of the work of God in salvation (we present them in this lesson).
To this point in the narrative of Christ's healing of the blind beggar of John chapter 9, the man has received his sight - which was a unprecedented miracle! Nobody had EVER healed a man who was BORN blind! In this second part of this study on "The Light Gives Sight," we look at the process that then led to the far greater miracle, which was the opening of the man's spiritual eyes; the "eyes of his heart".
The religious rulers were (of course) not pleased that the man could see for the first time in his life! They were "upset" that he was healed on the Sabbath! Thus, they begin a ridiculously cruel interrogation of the situation (hoping to discredit Jesus for breaking Sabbath Law). First, they interrogate the former blind beggar, then his neighbors, then his cowardly parents, and then the beggar again! The more they show forth their cold hearts and legalistic foolishness, the stronger the man's faith in Jesus becomes! He goes from being astonished at their unbelief, to making a logical assessment of the situation (9:31), to having assurance in Christ being "of God" (9:32, 33)!
