Today's passage of scripture includes the wonderful story of Jesus healing a man the word tells us had been blind from birth. There was no doubt that this was quite a miracle. The man upon whom the miracle was performed is quoted as having said to the religious leaders who were questioning him, "Since the beginning of time it has never been heard that anyone opened the eyes of a person born blind. If this man were not from God, He could do nothing." Perhaps there had been other accounts of people who possessed sight at one time and then regaining their sight after suffering some sort of blindness. But this man had been born blind. He had never possessed sight. He had never seen anything with his blind eyes. The spiritual lesson seems to jump off the pages. This man was completely dependent upon the graciousness and sovereign will of God if he were to ever see anything with his eyes during his lifetime. Each of us has suffered a similar spiritual blindness from birth. Until He touched me, I had never "seen" the Lord Jesus Christ, and like the blind man in today's passage, I lacked all ability to do so. I was dependent upon a miracle, a miracle from God. Actually, I find it quite incredible to think that I was dependent upon the very same One who, many years ago, spit on the ground to make the clay that He applied to the blind man's eyes as He gave Him sight. However, in my case, the blood that fell to the ground as He walked the road to Golgotha and as He was being crucified on Calvary's cross is what has been "applied" to me.
