He was an outcast, a beggar, blind from birth. His life one of total darkness and dependence on others for daily sustenance. People were used to seeing him near the temple, begging for money or food. And then one day he was gone, news spreading fast of his supposed healing. A man blind from birth receiving sight? How could this be? Who did this? How did it happen? What does it all mean? John 9 is the story of Jesus giving sight to the blind and the controversy that follows. As the drama unfolds we find ourselves caught between a man who knew he couldn’t see and those who claim they do.
