Is it just me, or have we had a lot of sunny days this winter?
Snow and cold too, but lots of sun!
Have you stepped out of a building into sunshine so bright that it takes your eyes awhile to adjust?
Sunlight from above, glare from ice, snow, and windows; it takes a bit before you can see clearly.
We see something similar in John 9: Jesus announces that he is the light of the world.
The man-born-blind cannot see Jesus clearly at first.
Gradually, as his eyes get accustomed to the light, he sees Jesus clearly.
Listen to his progress
“The man they call Jesus made some mud and put it on my eyes
John 9:11a (NIV)
“He is a prophet.”
John 9:17b (NIV)
He replied, “Whether he is a sinner or not, I don’t know.
One thing I do know.
I was blind but now I see!”
John 9:25 (NIV)
