John 9:1-41 page 1 by ric Gustafson


The blind man sat with the other beggars along the wall. He stretched out his arm with a cup in his hand. " Alms for the blind". He had been sitting there with the others for as long as he could remember. He had been blind since birth and begging was all he knew. He held out his cup. " Alms for the blind, alms for the blind".
One day as he held out his cup, Jesus and his disciples walked by.
One of the disciples spoke up. " Rabbi, who sinned this man or his parents that he would be born blind?".
Jesus looked at them. " Neither the parents or the man sinned but that the works of God might be displayed in him". He smiled at his followers. " As long as I am in this world, I am the light of the world".
The blind man could hear someone quietly walk up to him.
Jesus spat on the ground and made a clay from the spittle.
The blind man could feel something strange being applied to his eyes.
" Go and wash in the Pool of Siloam".
