After healing a blind man on the Sabbath the spiritually blind Pharisees become more resolute in their hatred of Jesus.
Jesus totally bucked the ancient assumption that a physical ailment like blindness was somehow related to rebellion against God. Ironically, the Pharisees rebelled against God by rejecting Jesus as Messiah- spiritual blindness.
Jesus meets people where they are, meets needs, reveals deeper truth about himself, and invites the person to believe in and follow him.
Some people being ministered to by Jesus don’t yet know who he is. Some people actively rejecting Jesus don’t yet realize who he is.
My spiritual eyes have been opened. I need to keep them on Jesus.
In v.1-3 Jesus, led by the Holy Spirit, took his shot answering in a big way. I need to be spirit-led like this.
Father, thank you for your indwelling Holy Spirit. Help me submit to what you desire play by play, for your glory.
