The Blind Can See Jesus

Pastor Jim looks at the story of Jesus healing the blind man in John 9, considering the profound philosophical issue of the problem of pain and the providential will of God. Jesus clarifies that the man's blindness serves to display God's works, challenging the perception that suffering is always a consequence of sin. Jim encourages forming a foundational understanding that everything comes through the hands of God.  The discussion extends to the spiritual healing and transformation highlighted in John 9, where the blind man's journey from physical to spiritual sight symbolizes a deeper transformation towards recognizing Jesus as the Messiah. Reflecting on the beauty of the incarnation and Jesus' redemptive work on the cross, Jim underscores the call for believers to walk in faithful obedience, persevere in pain, and live as sent ones sharing the gospel.
