From Darkness to Light: The Man Born Blind

John 9 tells the unforgettable story of a man born blind who encounters Jesus Christ. The disciples asked, “Who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?” But Jesus replied that it was not sin that caused his condition, but so “the works of God should be made manifest.”

“A man that is called Jesus made clay, and anointed mine eyes, and said unto me, Go… and wash: and I went and washed, and I received sight.” — John 9:11

This miracle was more than physical healing—it was a picture of spiritual sight. Just as this man lived in darkness until touched by Christ, so we are born in the darkness of sin. Yet Jesus, the Light of the World, came to open blinded eyes.

At the end of the chapter, the healed man meets Jesus face to face. When asked, “Dost thou believe on the Son of God?” he replied, “Lord, I believe,” and worshipped Him. That is the heart of the gospel: moving from blindness to belief, from darkness to light.
