Sunday 19th March 2023 – Jesus Heals a Blind Man Read: John 9:1-41
Jesus did different miracles and today we hear about one of the most famous. Jesus heals a man who was born blind. At the time of Jesus people thought if there was something wrong with you it was because you had sinned. Jesus told the disciples this wasn’t the case – this man was born blind so Gods work could be shown through him. Jesus bent down and mixed some mud with spit and put it over the mans eyes. He told him to go and bathe in a pool. When he came back, he was able to see! People couldn’t believe what had happened – they even took the man to the Pharisees. The Pharisees were not happy and questioned the man about what had happened. They did not like what the man had said – how could Jesus, someone they thought was a sinner perform miracles? They even questioned the man’s parents about it. Again they were not happy with what they heard and brought the man who had been healed back. They couldn’t understand how someone they thought was a sinner could be healed, by someone else they didn’t like. In the end they threw the man out. Jesus came and spoke to him again and told him who he was. The man started following Jesus, but the Pharisees were still not happy with how things were going and kept their eyes on Jesus.
Watch:
Who did Jesus heal? Why did he heal him? I wonder how he felt when he was healed? Why did the Pharisees get annoyed? Why did the man follow God?
