Summary: Jesus heals a man, blind from birth, and turns his life upside down. The man tells his friends and neighbors, until he is called to testify to the Jewish leaders. They call in the man's parents as well, until finally insulting him and dismissing him. Jesus finds him again, and he asks what he should follow next. Jesus knows now he is cured of physical and spiritual blindness, while the leaders are spiritually blind.
Response: This chapter is all about testimony. The man can't verify any theologically accurate pinnings on Jesus, just that he couldn't see, and now he can. Jesus is working through this duality of light and darkness, of seeing physically and spiritually.
I've seen God's hand work before. I know that's what He does. I just hope I can work those spiritual muscles, even today, and give witness to it.
