Through The Wilderness | Jesus, did you just spit on me?

Jesus encounters one man who’s born blind and gives him sight by spitting in the dirt and rubbing mud in his eyes. Jesus was operating at a time when being disabled meant being poor, unemployed, and excluded from mainstream society. What if Jesus didn’t pity this mans differently abled status, but he pitied the way society excluded and looked down upon him? Unfortunately, even after this man is given sight his neighbors, the religious leaders and even his parents don’t see what miracle God has done. Perhaps the moral of this story isn’t as much on the miracle that this man was given sight but on the rebuke that all those who had sight never really saw him or how God was loving those they had discarded.
