In this story, God’s sovereignty and purpose plays a part.
John 9:1-13
Verses 1-13 – Jesus performed a miracle by recreating the eyes of a man who was born blind.
Four Factors to look at in this text:
- The Problem – (v. 1) Blind from birth.
- The Purpose – (v. 2) Why was he blind? – While sin may be the cause of suffering, it wasn’t the case here. (Numbers 12; 1stCor. 11:30; James 5:15
- The Power – (v. 6-7)
- The Perplexity – (v. 8-10)
The Problems we face with Unbelief
- Unbelief sets false standards.
- Unbelief always wants more evidence but never has enough.
- Unbelief does biased research.
- Unbelief rejects the facts.
- Unbelief is self-centered. (It’s always about me and only me.)
