How Can You Be So Blind

In this powerful exploration of John 9, we delve into the story of Jesus healing a man born blind. This miracle serves as a profound lesson on judgment, mercy, and the transformative power of faith. We're challenged to examine our own tendencies to prejudge others, potentially missing opportunities for ministry and witnessing God's work. The central message urges us to embrace mercy over sacrifice, echoing Jesus' words from Hosea 6:6. As we reflect on the various characters in this narrative - the disciples, the healed man, his parents, and the Pharisees - we're invited to consider where we might see ourselves in this story. Are we quick to judge, or are we open to seeing God's miraculous work in unexpected places? This message compels us to stand firm in our personal testimonies of faith, even in the face of opposition, and to actively seek opportunities to show God's love and mercy to those around us.
