We are continuing along the path with Jesus toward Jerusalem and meeting the persons who he encountered along the way. This Sunday, he heals a man born blind. The Pharisees cannot wrap their minds around the fact that Jesus was able to heal him. They were blind to the possibility of God at work. Do we do the same today?
As we prepare for Sunday morning, we should begin to ask these questions:
1. Why are some people healed while others continue to suffer? What is our understanding of what it means to be healed? What is the nature of God’s healing?
2. Why do we sometimes close our eyes to the possibility of God doing a new thing?
3. Is it possible to see miracles in today’s world?
