John 9:1, 6-9, 13-17, 34-38As Jesus passed by he saw a man blind from birth.He spat on the ground and made clay with the saliva,and smeared the clay on his eyes,and said to him, “Go wash in the Pool of Siloam” — which means Sent —.So he went and washed, and came back able to see.His neighbors and those who had seen him earlier as a beggar said, “Isn't this the one who used to sit and beg?”Some said, “It is, “but others said, “No, he just looks like him.”He said, “I am.”They brought the one who was once blind to the Pharisees.Now Jesus had made clay and opened his eyes on a sabbath.So then the Pharisees also asked him how he was able to see.He said to them,“He put clay on my eyes, and I washed, and now I can see.”So some of the Pharisees said,“This man is not from God,because he does not keep the sabbath.”But others said,“How can a sinful man do such signs?”And there was a division among them.So they said to the blind man again, “What do you have to say about him,since he opened your eyes?”He said, “He is a prophet.”They answered and said to him,“You were born totally in sin,and are you trying to teach us?”Then they threw him out.When Jesus heard that they had thrown him out,he found him and said, “Do you believe in the Son of Man?”He answered and said, “Who is he, sir, that I may believe in him?”Jesus said to him,“You have seen him, andthe one speaking with you is he.”He said,“I do believe, Lord,” and he worshiped him.

A sermon Message on John 9:1-41, Jesus heals the man by the pool

I Was Blind, Now I See- Gospel Reflection - 4th Sunday of Lent - (John 9) by Shawn Ozbun

In this insightful sermon by Chris Montgomery, explore the story of Jesus healing a blind man from birth as narrated in John 9:1-41. Montgomery delves into the deeper meanings of sight, both physical and spiritual, and how God works in mysterious ways to open our eyes to His presence and glory. Through personal anecdotes and scriptural references, the sermon guides believers on a journey to perceive God's activity in their lives, emphasizing perseverance and faith. Discover how Jesus' miraculous acts serve as a testament to God's power and love, encouraging us to see beyond our limitations and embrace the new sight He offers.

Rev. Ken Buck

In John 9, Jesus heals a man who was born blind—but the miracle itself takes only two verses. The rest of the chapter is filled with arguments about what it means. This sermon explores how miracles aren't meant to simply make life easier; they reveal God's vision for the world and invite us to see reality differently. When God changes our lives, it may disrupt the systems and expectations around us, but it ultimately calls us to bear witness to a greater kingdom.

In John 9, Jesus heals a man born blind, but the deeper miracle unfolds long after the mud is washed away. This sermon explores how the story is not only about physical sight, but about spiritual vision—about who truly sees the work of God and who misses it. As the healed man's understanding of Jesus grows from "a man called Jesus" to "Lord, I believe," we are invited to ask where we might still be blind to grace, truth, and God's activity right in front of us.

What does this strange moment reveal about creation, healing, and spiritual sight?This short mystical reflection looks at how Christ remakes us from the dust, how true vision grows in faith, and why the greatest blindness may be thinking we already see.

Buckle up! This week's scripture feels more like a play in 7 acts than a Sunday snippet! Peter Walsh, Elizabeth Garnsey, and John Kennedy dissect the story of Jesus healing a man born blind. Together, they muse about what this reveals about family systems and the effect of community, how this ties into baptism, and what it looks like to experience gradual enlightenment on our faith journey.Questions for Further Discussion:Themes and ApplicationWhat does the man's journey from calling Jesus “the man Jesus” to “Lord” teach us about spiritual growth and discipleship?In what ways do the reactions of the neighbors, parents, and Pharisees show how communities respond differently to transformation and truth?How does this passage illustrate the difference between recognizing our need for grace and assuming we already see clearly?Personal ReflectionHave you ever felt pressure to stay silent or avoid conflict in a situation where truth or justice was at stake?Where might pride or certainty keep us from recognizing our own spiritual blindness?What would it mean for you to let Christ reshape how you see other people, especially those society overlooks or excludes?Broader Spiritual ConsiderationsThe early church often described baptism as “illumination.” How does the imagery of washing in the pool of Siloam connect to baptism and spiritual awakening?This passage explores the idea of progressive enlightenment. How does faith continue to grow even after a moment of transformation?What does this story reveal about the relationship between individual faith journeys and the systems we inhabit(family, religion, culture)?Learn more about St. Mark's at https://www.stmarksnewcanaan.org

In this episode we watch Jesus do what Luther says Christ always does: use the law to uncover real sin, then speak a promise that creates faith, revealing himself as the great “I am” who gives living water as pure grace. As the Samaritan woman leaves her jar behind and confesses him Savior of the world, we see that true worship isn't about the right mountain but about the Spirit delivering Christ through his Word—salvation from the Jews, and for the nations.GOSPEL John 9:1-411 As he walked along, he saw a man blind from birth. 2 His disciples asked him, "Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?" 3 Jesus answered, "Neither this man nor his parents sinned; he was born blind so that God's works might be revealed in him. 4 We must work the works of him who sent me while it is day; night is coming when no one can work. 5 As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world." 6 When he had said this, he spat on the ground and made mud with the saliva and spread the mud on the man's eyes, 7 saying to him, "Go, wash in the pool of Siloam" (which means Sent). Then he went and washed and came back able to see. 8 The neighbors and those who had seen him before as a beggar began to ask, "Is this not the man who used to sit and beg?" 9 Some were saying, "It is he." Others were saying, "No, but it is someone like him." He kept saying, "I am the man." 10 But they kept asking him, "Then how were your eyes opened?" 11 He answered, "The man called Jesus made mud, spread it on my eyes, and said to me, 'Go to Siloam and wash.' Then I went and washed and received my sight." 12 They said to him, "Where is he?" He said, "I do not know."13 They brought to the Pharisees the man who had formerly been blind. 14 Now it was a sabbath day when Jesus made the mud and opened his eyes. 15 Then the Pharisees also began to ask him how he had received his sight. He said to them, "He put mud on my eyes. Then I washed, and now I see." 16 Some of the Pharisees said, "This man is not from God, for he does not observe the sabbath." But others said, "How can a man who is a sinner perform such signs?" And they were divided. 17 So they said again to the blind man, "What do you say about him? It was your eyes he opened." He said, "He is a prophet."18 The Jews did not believe that he had been blind and had received his sight until they called the parents of the man who had received his sight 19 and asked them, "Is this your son, who you say was born blind? How then does he now see?" 20 His parents answered, "We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind; 21 but we do not know how it is that now he sees, nor do we know who opened his eyes. Ask him; he is of age. He will speak for himself." 22 His parents said this because they were afraid of the Jews; for the Jews had already agreed that anyone who confessed Jesus to be the Messiah would be put out of the synagogue. 23 Therefore his parents said, "He is of age; ask him."24 So for the second time they called the man who had been blind, and they said to him, "Give glory to God! We know that this man is a sinner." 25 He answered, "I do not know whether he is a sinner. One thing I do know, that though I was blind, now I see." 26 They said to him, "What did he do to you? How did he open your eyes?" 27 He answered them, "I have told you already, and you would not listen. Why do you want to hear it again? Do you also want to become his disciples?" 28 Then they reviled him, saying, "You are his disciple, but we are disciples of Moses. Support the showInterested in sponsoring an episode of Scripture First?Email Sarah at sarah@lhos.org or visit our donation page: lutherhouseofstudy.org/donate

Send me a Text Message!At the end of the last episode, I said that our vision is shaped by the stories we hear and even more so, that stories we rehearse. Remember I asked, "What stories do you tell and what stories do you hear?" In this episode, I will share four stories that shape our sight. These four stories are not just run of the mill common narratives. These are four stories about Jesus that have the power to change our life. I don't know which story you have landed on, but perhaps you will find yourself or one of your friends who is stuck somewhere before the fourth story.I'm praying that we all make it to #4!

Send me a Text Message!If we want to live our one and only life in an uncommon way, we must gain uncommon sight. We need to be able to see what is truly real. We need spiritual sight. So ask yourself the question, "Where am I missing the uncommon sights that lead to an uncommon life because I'm living life blind? Nobody had, nobody has better vision than Jesus. When he looked at people, he saw the mess, but he also saw the glory. He saw the effects of sin, but he also saw the work of God. Jesus had amazing eyes and uncommon vision. John 9 gives us an example of that. This is one of those seven miraculous signs that reveal something about the heart and power of God and it makes me say, "I want to see like Jesus sees!"

Welcome to Week 2 of Spring Training: Behold & Be Changed. In this episode, we're reminded that we rely on light to see. Without light, we are blind—but when light appears, it draws our eyes and makes everything else visible. Together, we'll read John 9 and behold Jesus as the true Light, the One who opens blind eyes and enables us to see clearly.

The Scripture passage and the week's introduction were read by Andrew Bobo, our Associate Executive Pastor, Practical Theology.

Faith rarely happens all at once. More often, it unfolds step by step.In this message from John 8–9, Chris Nichols traces the powerful story of the man born blind whose healing becomes a journey—from questioning, to responding, to believing, and finally to worshiping Jesus as Lord. Through this progression, we see that Jesus is the illuminating I AM, the Light of the World who opens our eyes not just to see, but to truly know him.This episode explores:What it means that Jesus is the Light of the WorldWhy honest questions are often the beginning of authentic faithHow personal transformation becomes a testimony of beliefThe invitation to move from healing into wholehearted worshipIf you feel like your faith is unfinished, uncertain, or still forming, this message offers hope: Jesus meets you in the middle of your journey and gently leads you toward deeper trust and worship.
