Study Notes: "Why Were You Born?" (John 9:1-41)
Introduction
Key Scripture: John 9:1-41
Part 1: The Incident (John 9:1-12)
Jesus encounters a man blind from birth. Jesus clarifies that the blindness was not due to sin but for God's works to be displayed. Jesus emphasizes His mission as the light of the world. Jesus heals the man using mud made from saliva and the man washes in the Pool of Siloam and gains sight.
Insights
Part 2: The Investigation (John 9:13-34)
The healed man is brought to the Pharisees. They are are divided: some see Jesus as a sinner for breaking the Sabbath, others recognize the miracle. The man asserts that Jesus is a prophet. The Pharisees question the man's parents who confirm their son was born blind but defer to him for details on his healing. The man stands by his testimony, stating he was blind but now sees. He logically argues that Jesus must be from God to perform such a miracle. Pharisees react angrily and expel the man.
Insights
Part 3: Spiritual Blindness (John 9:35-41)
Jesus finds the expelled man and reveals His identity as the Son of Man. The man believes and worships Jesus. Jesus' mission includes bringing judgment, revealing spiritual blindness in those who claim to see. Pharisees' guilt is highlighted by their refusal to acknowledge their blindness.
