Jesus sees and heals a Blind Man (9:1-7)
Physical blindness ≈ Spiritual blindness
*Hopeless
Promise of the Coming Messiah
Physical Touch
Water (associated with Tabernalces; Jesus)

Religious Leaders reject a Healed Man (9:8-34)
Refuse to see God at work through Jesus
Refuse to see Jesus as Moses’ fulfillment
Reject the healed man from their gathering

A Formerly Blind Man worships Jesus (9:35-41)
Pride traps the Religious Leaders
The man comes to know Jesus
He courageously follows Jesus
He humbly worships Jesus

Movie Review
Only Jesus gives sight to the blind
Sight is for the humble, not the prideful
Sight improves over time
The goal of sight is worship and missions.

Response of Worship
What causes hopelessness?
Where are you struggling to see?
Where are you battling pride / anger?

*Let’s encourage one another through Prayer and Praise.
