Reflection: John 9:1-7
As (Jesus) passed by, he saw a man blind from birth. And his disciples asked him, “Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?” Jesus answered, “It was not that this man sinned, or his parents, but that the works of God might be displayed in him. We must work the works of him who sent me while it is day; night is coming, when no one can work. As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.” Having said these things, he spit on the ground and made mud with the saliva. Then he anointed the man's eyes with the mud and said to him, “Go, wash in the pool of Siloam” (which means Sent). So he went and washed and came back seeing.
Sometimes we may wonder why God allows bad things to happen in this life – sickness, death, adversity, etc. Why doesn’t he just let everything on Earth be perfect and carefree? In these verses, Jesus reminds us that while sin might have resulted in a fallen world where death, sickness, and disease seems to flourish, God’s will is that we see His power at work in people in the midst of this present darkness and that He wants us to partner with Him, just as Jesus demonstrated in healing the blind man, to continue in that work. We are the light of the world! (Matt 5:14-16)
As always, an honor!
