As Jesus went along, He saw a man blind from the birth.
“This happens so that the work of God might be displayed in his life.”
Having said this, Jesus spit on the ground, made some mud with the saliva, and put it on the man’s eyes.
“Go,” He told him, “wash in the Pool of Siloam.”
So the man went and washed, and came home seeing. His neighbors and those who had formerly seen him begging asked how his eyes were opened.
“The man they call Jesus made some mud and put it on my eyes. He told me to go to Siloam and wash. So I went and washed, and then I could see.”
The Pharisees and the Jews still did not believe until they sent for the man’s parents. They couldn’t believe that the man who they condemned as a sinner performed a miraculous thing. The blind man thought that their response was strange.
“I’ve told you already and you did not listen. Why do you want to hear it again? Whether he’s a sinner or not, I don’t know. One thing I do know. I was blind but now I see. Nobody has ever heard of opening the eyes of a man born blind. If this man were not from God, he could do nothing.”
Raging at his words, the Pharisees threw him out. When he met Jesus, he said that he believed Jesus and worshiped Him.
The blind man knew the miracle that happened to him was the work of God. So he had no doubt that Jesus who made his eyes open was the one who came from God. To his eyes, those who condemned Jesus as a sinner and didn’t believe things happening before their eyes seemed odd. He preached Jesus’ work and His divine nature until the end for one thing he knew—he had been blind but now he saw.
We lived in darkness as the spiritual blind but now we see the truth and look forward to the kingdom of heaven as we have met God Elohim. The fact that now we see—we see the way of salvation and we have hope for the angelic world—proves that Father and Mother are our Saviors.
Let us preach the Saviors in the age of the Holy Spirit with a firm faith. “Lord, I believe.” The confession of the blind man should be ours before God Elohim in this age.
