Jesus finds the man born blind in John chapter 9. This is no coincidental encounter, but rather this man is seen and soughth by Jesus. Whilst the disciples can only see the problem, Jesus sees the person, not only the sin but a soul needing saved and soul for whom Jesus died! The salvation Jesus offers lies not in the mud, nor the spit nor even in the pool of Siloam but in the person of Jesus Christ! Don't miss the Master for the mud! In response to this creatorial miracle of Jesus, men ask the wrong question! The question is not How was the man made to see but Who made the man see again! Perhaps we are all a little like the man born blind, just blind in different ways. Blind until we grasp a glimpse of Jesus.
