BORN BLIND TO DISPLAY THE WORKS OF GOD
John 9:1-7
Key Verse 9:3 “‘Neither this man nor his parents sinned,’ said Jesus, ‘but this happened so that the work of God might be displayed in his life.’”
1. How did Jesus’ disciples view the man’s blindness? (1-2) What is the view of life underlying the disciples’ question?
2. How did Jesus look at the man’s blindness? What can we learn from Jesus about how to view misfortune, tragedy, poor human circumstances, etc? (3)
3. How do “day” and “night” apply to Jesus and to us? (4-5) Why does Jesus repeat here that he is the light of the world? (cf. 8:12) How is Jesus inviting his disciples and us to do the works of God?
4. How did Jesus heal the man? (6-7) In what way was this a test of the man’s faith?
5. Can you think of the works of God being displayed in your life in spite of difficult circumstances?
