spiritual re alitles v verse 2 the jews believed that physical buffering was in most cases a direct punishment for sin they also believed that a babe unborn had emotions and that these might be sin ful 3 neither did this man sin nor his parents they committed no definite act of sin of which their childs blind ness was a result the work of god not alone the miracle of healing but the divine power manifest in tho mans after life we must work christ indehhlfieit himself with his disciples the night cometh if this was the close of the last day of the feascthe descending darkness doubtless suggested tho words also jesus was reminded of tho fact that his life work on earth was drawing to a close verses 6 and 7 this mode of heal ing was prohdbly used to assist the blind mans faith both saliva and clay were regarded as remedies for diseased eyes 7 wash in the pool a test of the mans faith compare eushaa com mund to naaman 2 kings 5 10 j he- is llkehlm we may lmagino that the mans appearance and man ner were greatly chanced the intervening verses 11 to 34 give tho mans report to the pharisees who immediately reply that the man who had performed the cure cannot be from god because ho keepeth not the sabbath the people asked how a sinner could- do such signs and as a division arose among them they ap pealed to the healed mqiv who prompt ly said he la a prophet a second time thoy called him and asked him to give glory to godt that the man who had wrought the cure was with out doubt a sinner but the man who had been born blind argued that such an act could not be performed if this man were not from god whercupop the pharisees became angry and cast him out from among- them verses 1034 the very interesting sequel to the healing ministration of jesus reveals the widespread attention his public ministry received and the jealousy and antagonism which his popularity aroused among the phari sees in this case it reveals the simple straightforward loyalty- bf the man who was healed toward his unrecog nized benefactor that loyalty jesus docs not permit to pass unnoticed 35 find him apparently jesus sought him out for the purpose of leading him to a fuller knowledge of the truth dost thou believe thou is emphatic in contrast with he un believing pharisecs 36 who is he lord that i may be iieve on rim the simplicity of the mans faith and his desire to be taught must have touched jesus 38 worshipped used in this gos pel and in revelation only in the sense of divine worship lesion themes self forgetful servlee how very rapidly the scones change when we endeavor to follow jesus for but a single day on this the last day of tho feast he had told tho people about the living water arid invited them to come- to urn and drink 7 37 some of his hearers had listen ed engerlytohts gracious words and the pharisees nttd asked their cynical questions later probably in the evening he had spoken to the people about the light of the world and as he spake these jthlngs many believed on him 30 then- he probably sought out the company of jews who had believed hin but whose faith now seemed to be wavering urging them to continue to follow his teachings and promising that they should know the truth and the truth should make them free but their arguments regarding matters of minor importance at last led them to a point where they were unable tacomprehend tho words of jesus and they turned against him and took up stones to cast at him passing out with his disciples his spirit unruffled by the disheartening experience he performed a deed of mercy and made it the occasion of leading the disciples to a higher con ception of god physlclal suffering and sin the physical suffering in many coses result directly from human wrongdoing such wrongdoing includes the fail ure to observe the laws of health and hygiene of ten this is due to ignor ance sometimes people know but are careless or indifferent in such cases the suffering isa natural result which can be forseeb by those who are not ignorant the notion held by the dis ciples and other jews differed from this it was rather the heathen belief that punishments were sent by the almighty in order to satisfy the de mands of justice the jews at the time of jesus had not yet risen above the old belief that god would because he had the right pronounce arbit rary judgments upon his people such ufalsoldqa of god jesus sought to correct on another occasion he men tioned that eighteen men upon whom the tower of 81 loam fell were not of fenders above all the men that dwell in jerusalem and
