JESUS HEALS A MAN BORN BLIND

John 9:1-41

Key Verse: 9:3, 25

Open it:

1. When have you overcome the pressure of others withholding the truth in your life? Did you think it was worth it? Why? If not, why?

Explore it:

1. Read verses 1-7. Whom did Jesus and his disciples see begging on the street? How did the disciples and Jesus view the man’s blindness differently? What did Jesus reveal about him? (4-5) What did Jesus do to heal the man born blind? (6-7)

2. Read verses 8-16. How did the man’s neighbors and friends respond to him when they saw him healed? Why didn’t the Pharisees want to recognize Jesus was from God? (16)

3. Read verses 17-34. Why did the Pharisee keep pressuring the formerly blind man? (18,21-22,24, 28-29, 34) How did the man overcome the pressure and confusion? (17, 25, 27,30-33)

4. Read verses 35-41. Why do you think Jesus revisited the formerly blind man when the Pharisees threw him out? How did the man’s spiritual eyes open to see Jesus as the Son of Man (Messiah)? (25, 36-38) Why do you think most people remain spiritually blind? (39-41)

Apply it:

1. What do you think is one thing you should never deny to prevent spiritual blindness?
