Jesus heals a man born blind
(John 9)
This week’s Sunday School lesson is about Jesus healing a man born blind from John 9. The disciples asked about the specific cause of the man’s blindness, but Jesus answered in terms of its purpose—this man was blind so Jesus could reveal Himself as the light of the world and do the works of God by healing this man of his lifelong blindness. Jesus broke through the man’s physical blindness; similarly, Jesus’ light breaks through our spiritual blindness that we may see Him in faith, be saved from our sin, and join Him in the work He is doing. The man who could not see anything earlier in the day now saw Jesus and saw Him for who He is. Through the power of the Holy Spirit, he confessed with his mouth that Jesus is Lord and worshiped Him.

John 9:1-7,29-33,35-41 (NIV)
1 As [Jesus] went along, he saw a man blind from birth. 2 His disciples asked him, “Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?”
3 “Neither this man nor his parents sinned,” said Jesus, “but this happened so that the works of God might be displayed in him. 4 As long as it is day, we must do the works of him who sent me. Night is coming, when no one can work. 5 While I am in the world, I am the light of the world.”
6 After saying this, he spit on the ground, made some mud with the saliva, and put it on the man’s eyes. 7 “Go,” he told him, “wash in the Pool of Siloam” (this word means “Sent”). So the man went and washed, and came home seeing.
…
29 [Then the Pharisees said], “We know that God spoke to Moses, but as for this fellow, we don’t even know where he comes from.”
30 The man answered, “Now that is remarkable! You don’t know where he comes from, yet he opened my eyes. 31 We know that God does not listen to sinners. He listens to the godly person who does his will. 32 Nobody has ever heard of opening the eyes of a man born blind. 33 If this man were not from God, he could do nothing.”
…
35 Jesus heard that they had thrown him out, and when he found him, he said, “Do you believe in the Son of Man?”
36 “Who is he, sir?” the man asked. “Tell me so that I may believe in him.”
37 Jesus said, “You have now seen him; in fact, he is the one speaking with you.”
38 Then the man said, “Lord, I believe,” and he worshiped him.
39 Jesus said, “For judgment I have come into this world, so that the blind will see and those who see will become blind.”
40 Some Pharisees who were with him heard him say this and asked, “What? Are we blind too?”
41 Jesus said, “If you were blind, you would not be guilty of sin; but now that you claim you can see, your guilt remains.
