TEXT: ‘One thing I know: that though I was blind, now I see’ – John 9:25 THOUGHT: In a previous Today’s Teaching, this miracle was looked at in more depth. http://box2340.temp.domains/~recovfz7/parents-what-are-you-saying/ This teaching concentrates on four things that were opened. Opened Eyes It is very interesting to see Jesus doing the same miracle in different ways. Blind Bartimaeus received his sight as Jesus spoke to him. This man had clay smeared on his eyes and was told to go and wash it off in the pool of Siloam. John Chapter 8 gives an insight as to why Jesus did it this way. The Jews threatened to stone Jesus and another miracle would only aggravate things, so by the time the blind man returned with perfect eyesight, Jesus was long gone.
