A devotional reflection on the man healed after a lifetime of blindness.
Miracles of Restoration
Jesus brings purpose to suffering. This man lived his entire life in darkness until Jesus opened his eyes. His healing revealed God’s glory and exposed the spiritual blindness of the Pharisees. The man’s simple, growing faith stands in contrast to the pride of those who claimed to see.
Neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents. (John 9:3)
I am the light of the world. (John 9:5)
Lord, I believe. (John 9:38)
Christian Application
This devotional encourages believers that Jesus brings light into every kind of darkness physical, emotional, or spiritual. No suffering is wasted when placed in His hands. Invite Jesus to shine His light into your darkness today.
Sample Prayer
Lord, open my eyes to Your truth. Bring light where I cannot see. Amen.
