Brlggs V z V j "The Man Eorn Blind" Golden Text: "One thing I know that, whereas, I was blind, now I see. John a: Jo. The period of the popularity of the Master was drawing to a close, lie had healed the sick, raised the dead, restored sight to the blind, stilled the tempest, walked upon the sea and above all had taught the people the very way of life by pre cept, by example, by parable. His wonderful deeds had caused the multitudes to come unto him and throng before him, and he had at all times blessed the people on every hand. This popularity had become so pro nouneetl that tne rulers oi tne peo- pie iU fearine- The neonle would fol- bin, ha,l ,,seH Pvprv means to 1 ; ---f confuse him and turn the people j P'e . 11 s' against him. In the ninth chapter of Joh gospel, the disciples, as they passed by. observed a blind man begging oy the wayside, and knowing him, ask- "Who sinned, this made manifest in him." Then he added. "I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day. The night cometh, when no man can work. As long as I am in the worid, I am the light of the world." He then spat upon the ground and with the saliva made an ointment of the clay and annointed the eyes of the man born blind and said un to him. "Go wash in the pool of Siloam." He went his way, there fore, and washed, and came seeing. This was a wonderful thing. All the neighbors noticed it immediate ly, and wondered and talked about it. some taking one view and others a different one. They then discussed the Master and what power he had in order to perform this miracle, and also as if had been done on the Sab bath day some .held that he could not be a good man to have done this on the day of worship. The conten tion became so pronounced and the people so hopelessly disagreed as to whether it was really the same man who had been blind, that they ask Lim. and the man who had been Mind from infancy, replied, "A man 'ailed Jesus opened my eyes." and also testified, "I am he." The neigh bors then to settle the matter took him to the Pharisees, who inquired of him how he received his sight. "He put clay upon my eyes, and I washed ?nd do see.' The discussion then went to the Pharisees. Some said. "This man is not of Cod because he keepeth not the Sabbath day." Others said, "How can a man who is a sinner perform such . miracles?" They then turned to the former blind man and asked, "What sayest thou of him, that he has opened thine eyes?" He replied, "He is a, prophet." The Jews would not accept this. As they were looking for something to condemn him, they passed a reso lution which became with them a law, providing that if any one ac knowledge that Jesus was the Christ they should be expelled from the synagogue. Then they went to the man's par ents whom Jesus had said had not sinned and asked them, "Is this your son. whom you say was born blind? How then doth he now Bee?" The parents answered, "We know this is our son and that he was born blind, but how he now sees we can not tell. Ask him; he is of age." Then they said unto the man, who was blind. "Give God the praise, we know this man is a sinner." He answered. "Whether He be a sinner, as you say. or not, this I do know. That whereas I was blind, I am now able to see." They again ask hira,"How opened He thine eyes." Preceiving their inability to understand he said, I just told you and you did not be lieve and would you if I told you again? They, at this point were getting pretty well "wooled up", and he poked the query at them. "Would you be His disciples?" ThiB enraged them and they told him. "You are his disciple and we are Moses disci pies." Then he asked. "How is this." "There was never known such a thing before, that anyone born blind should receive Ms sight." adding, "if this Man was not of God He could do nothing." Becoming greatly enraged and not beening able to answer, they said. "Thou wast altogether born in sin and are you trying to teach us," Holding that, as they were Pharisees and observed the letter of the law, they were perfect, and, us he had ed me Master. man or his parents, that he.was born there no other name given under f blind?"
