I am the one who healed you. Maybe that's what we should do, too. Maybe we should put our trust in what we see with our own eyes, in what we touch with our own hands, in what we experience in our own lives and hearts. Maybe experience is where we find the Savior. There's just one more thing I want to say, before we settle back into quiet worship.
Blindness is a terrible thing.
But Jesus warned us that there is inward blindness, as well as outward blindness. And maybe the inward kind is worse than the outward kind. Prejudice, and hard-heartedness, and blaming, and condemnation, have been responsible for more human pain and tragedy, than any amount of physical handicaps. As the story finishes up, some of the Pharisees were offended with Jesus.
