Lesson 4526

 Lesson 4526)(06-24-24) John 9:35-41 

“Jesus heard that they had cast him out; and when he had found him, he said unto him, Dost thou believe on the Son of God? He answered and said, Who is he, Lord, that I might believe on him? And Jesus said unto him, Thou hast both seen him, and it is he that talketh with thee. And he said, Lord, I believe. And he worshipped him. And Jesus said, For judgment I am come into this world, that they which see not might see; and that they which see might be made blind. And some of the Pharisees which were with him heard these words, and said unto him, Are we blind also? Jesus said unto them, If ye were blind, ye should have no sin: but now ye say, We see; therefore your sin remaineth.” 

 

In today’s quote, Jesus sought out the man who was cast out by the Pharisees after being healed of his blindness. Jesus revealed Himself as the Son of God, and the man believed and worshiped Him. Jesus then spoke about spiritual blindness, explaining that those who recognize their own blindness can see, while those who claim to see are blind. The Pharisees, overhearing that, asked if they too were blind, and Jesus responded by stating that if they were blind, they would be without sin, but since they claim to see, their sin remained. ~
