The Man Born Blind

The healing of the man born blind is one of Jesus’ miracles that’s called a sign, meaning it symbolizes something about who Jesus was and what he came to do. This is a story about a man who’s born blind, and it takes up an entire chapter. The man is healed in the very first few verses, then there’s quite a bit of interrogation with the Pharisees, and then the man comes back, has an encounter with Jesus, and comes to faith. Looking at the three groups of people in this passage—the disciples, the Pharisees, and the man who is healed—we learn 1) something about pain and suffering, 2) something about spiritual blindness, and 3) something about what heals it all.
