What this episode covers

Jesus Heals a Man Born Blind [part 3] (John 9:13-23) Bible Reading: They brought to the Pharisees the man who had been blind. Now the day on which Jesus had made the mud and opened the man's eyes was a Sabbath. Therefore the Pharisees also asked him how he had received his sight. "He put mud on my eyes," the man replied, "and I washed, and now I see." Some of the Pharisees said, "This man is not from God, for he does not keep the Sabbath." But others asked, "How can a sinner do such miraculous signs?" So they were divided. Finally they turned again to the blind man, "What have you to say about him? It was your eyes he opened." The man replied, "He is a prophet." The Jews still did not believe that he had been blind and had received his sight until they sent for the man's parents. "Is this your son?" they asked. "Is this the one you say was born blind? How is it that now he can see?" "We know he is our son," the parents answered, "and we know he was born blind. But how he can see now, or who opened his eyes, we don't know. Ask him. He is of age; he will speak for himself." His parents said this because they were afraid of the Jews, for already the Jews had decided that anyone who acknowledged that Jesus was the Christ would be put out of the synagogue. That was why his parents said, "He is of age; ask him." John 9:13-23 Scripture Reflections to Consider: What is wrong with the Pharisees’ perspective? When you give your testimony, do you tend to exaggerate? Can Jesus still do miracles like this today? Does Jesus still do miracles like this today? Do you care more about healing and miracles than you do about growing in a relationship with Jesus? Do you ask questions for understanding or to undermine people? How do you defend your kids? Are you overly forgiving, overly defensive, overly given over to your children? Or, do you distance yourself from your children? Do you speak up for those who have had Jesus work in their lives? What about in your life? Are you overwhelmed by peer pressure and keep quiet? For more information about our ministry, please visit https://www.kingdomd.org.
