As Jesus was walking, He came upon a beggar. He had been blind since birth and our compassionate Lord took mercy on Him. He spit on the ground and made clay and daubed it on the man's eyes. Then he told the man to go and wash in the pool of Siloam. When the man did so, his sight was restored. What a wonderful miracle! But, of course some were offended. Jesus had done this miracle on the Sabbath. Someone told the Pharisees about this and the man was brought for trial. What had he done? He had violated a new law that they had made against Jesus. They had decreed that anyone who confessed that Jesus was the Messiah would be cast out of the synagogue. During the trial, this man boldly showed them that he had been healed and that anyone who could heal a man born blind must be of God. In their own desire to remain spiritually blind and not see the light, they cast him out of the synagogue. When Jesus heard about it, He went to the man and offered him salvation.
What a wonderful Savior is Jesus! He takes away our blindness and gives us sight. He teaches us how to leave the darkness and sin and see new light in Him. Praise the Lord!
