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.”

Come

“Come and have breakfast.”

Fish and loaves. 

Common meal of fishermen. Little boys. Multitudes.

And a meaningful offering by the risen Savior.

Truly, truly

“Truly, truly, I say to you….” 

After dark. Nicodemus seeks answers. Away from the crowds. And fellow religious leaders.

And Jesus says, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God” (John 3:3).

Startling words to a learned Pharisee. Ruler among the Jews.

“How…?” (John 3:4).
