​Jesus’ encounter with the blind man is an interesting story, a comic tragedy, a controversial healing. Woven into this story are themes of light, darkness, blindness, sight, identity, power and authority. At a key moment in the story when he is put on the spot, the man courageously states, one thing I do know: I was blind but now I see. This goes to the heart of this chapter and challenges us to consider, are we spiritually blind or can we truly see the light? 

​Sermon Series: Give Me a Sign! (Gospel of John)

We are continuing our series in John's Gospel about the signs and wonders Jesus performed. Today I want to talk to you about the third sign, when Jesus healed the invalid man at the pool at Bethesda.
 
The bible tells us the purpose of the signs from Jesus. Here in John 20:31 we are told, “But these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name.”
