    Blind mans progression of faith

    The blind mans first act was one of obedience. He went and washed in the pool of Siloam.
    Jesus did not promise him anything, He didn’t promise him his sight, he didn’t tell him his
    sinds would be forgiven, He only gave a command and the blind man obeyed
    The blind man knew it was Jesus as we see in verse 9, It’s a possibility that he had Heard
    about Jesus sign and he had faith!!! Faith is given by God

    Faith is a process, in John 8 we encountered Jews who had some degree of faith in
    Jesus (Jn 8:30-31+), but their subsequent actions (e.g., Jn 8:59+) proved their faith had
    not progressed to genuine saving faith. As we follow the progression of this blind man's
    faith, note that the radical contrast of the Jews picking up stones to throw at Jesus (Jn
    8:59+), with this man throwing himself down before Jesus in worship (Jn 9:38+)!
    The LORD opens the eyes of the blind." (Psalm 146:8) "Opening the eyes of the blind
    was a specific work of the Messiah: The eyes of the blind shall be opened." (Isaiah
    35:5+)
    He testified that Jesus had made the clay and opened his eyes
    He called Jesus a prophet because we see in verse 36 that he did not know Jesus was
    the Son of Man/Messiah
    The pharisees coudnt win their case so they attacked him
    THOUGHT - If you are a disciple of Jesus, you WILL BE REVILED at some point in your
    life!
    “this is the really marvellous thing; your unbelief in the face of the evidence is more of a
    miracle than my cure!”
    Proverbs 15:29 The LORD is far from the wicked, But He hears the prayer of the
    righteous.
    Verse 33- the man c=declares Jesus is from god

    Note the progression regarding this man's faith in Jesus - He


    believes He’s a man, he believes He’s a prophet, he believes
    He’s sent from God, but he doesn’t know yet He’s the Son of
    God, or who He is." He was a picture of Pr 4:18 "the path of the
    righteous is like the light of dawn, That shines brighter and
    brighter until the full day."
    Adrian Rogers explains this proverb "At first, it’s grey dawn.
    And then, the sun comes over the horizon, and you can see,
    but there are just shadows, very little color. Then, the sun gets
    up a little bit more; you can see, but they’re long s
    .hadows. And then, finally, it is high noon, and there are no
    shadows. That’s the way God gives us spiritual wisdom."\
    John 9:39 does not contradict John 3:16–17. The reason for our Lord’s coming was
    salvation, but the result of His coming was condemnation of those who would not
    believe. The same sun that brings beauty out of the seeds also exposes the vermin
    hiding under the rocks.
