John 9- Whose Fault Was It?

Whose Fault Was It?

In John 9:1-12 Jesus heals a blind man and people try to find out whose sin caused the man to be blind. They ask if it was the man's fault or if it was his parents. The man was born that way and Jesus sets the issue straight and focuses on not what caused the sin or who is at fault but how God can be seen through this man. Jesus did his part and spit in the dirt to make mud and anointed the man's eyes. Then washed off where Jesus told him to and then could see for the first time.

 

I italicized "his part" in the previous paragraph to stress how important it is for Jesus to be able to do his part. His part is what can allow for miracles to happen. We cannot fix every problem in the world. We can do our part and allow God to come in and do his part.

Whether someone is born with an ailment or condition or they develop it, it doesn't matter. The healing power of Jesus wipes it away. We have to be able to do our part too though. We can always do something whether it is prayer, helping people get to doctors, or in other cases being a friend full of compassion. Jesus was very compassionate. He knew that the man had an ailment that needed fixing, not condemnation. Once again we see how Jesus was only focused on healing, not the politics of blame.
