Getting to Know the Real Jesus 

Look What the Lord has Done 

John 9 

1. Many people get caught up in the “Why” and lose sight of the “How”. 

● As Jesus was walking along, he saw a man who had been blind from birth. “Rabbi,” his disciples asked him, “why was this man born blind? Was it because of his own sins or his parents’ sins?” “It was not because of his sins or his parents’ sins,” Jesus answered. “This happened so the power of God could be seen in him. We must quickly carry out the tasks assigned us by the one who sent us. The night is coming, and then no one can work. But while I am here in the world, I am the light of the world.” (John 9:1-5 NLT) 

2. Jesus initiated this Miracle, but He Always Asks us to do Something. 

● Then he spit on the ground, made mud with the saliva, and spread the mud over the blind man’s eyes. He told him, “Go wash yourself in the pool of Siloam” (Siloam means “sent”). So the man went and washed and came back seeing! (John 9:6-7 NLT) 

● What does it profit, my brethren, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can faith save him? (James 2:14 NKJV) 

3. Everyone has an Opinion when a miracle happens. 

● The Neighbors and Others were curious. 

Others said, “But how could an ordinary sinner do such miraculous signs?” So there was a deep division of opinion among them. (John 9:16b NLT) 

● The Pharisees were skeptical and hostile. 

Some of the Pharisees said, “This man Jesus is not from God, for he is working on the Sabbath.” (John 9:16a NLT) 

The Jewish leaders still refused to believe the man had been blind and could now see, so they called in his parents. They asked them, “Is this your son? Was he born blind? If so, how can he now see?” (John 9:18-19 NLT) 

● The Parents were hesitant to get involved. 

His parents replied, “We know this is our son and that he was born blind, but we don’t know how he can see or who healed him. Ask him. He is old enough to speak for himself.” His parents said this because they were afraid of the Jewish leaders, who had announced that anyone saying Jesus was the Messiah would be expelled from the synagogue. (John 9:20-22 NLT) 

● The Healed man testified to everyone about the great healing in his life. 

He told them, “The man they call Jesus made mud and spread it over my eyes and told me, ‘Go to the pool of Siloam and wash yourself.’ So I went and washed, and now I can see!” (John 9:11 NLT)
