Born blind

Born blind. The man now sees. 

And gives witness. Boldly.

His own parents battle nerves when religious authorities come calling. They fear banishment from the synagogue if they give credit to Jesus for this miracle.

“He’s of age; ask him” (John 9:23).

“Was blind, but now I see.”

Shoeless

Shoeless. Face to the ground. On the plains of Jericho. 

This. After Joshua stares at the man standing there with sword drawn. Equipped for battle. 

This. After he asks the critical question: “Are you for us or for our enemies?” (Joshua 5:13ff)

Whose side are you on? Can I trust you? Should I fight against you?
