The Powerful Example of the Blind Man

The Powerful Example of the Blind Man

‎The man’s answer to the probing question of Jesus was a responsive query for identification in order that he might believe. Accordingly, the man’s question was completely devoid of insincerity and serves as a strong contrast to the questions of the investigating committee (John 9:36). Jesus immediately furnished a self-identification to the man (9:37) and for the first time the man was enabled to identify (“see”) his healer. The man then responded with a model confession involving both believing and worshiping (9:38).
