SEVEN SIGNS: Jesus Heals a Man Who was Born Blind

Jesus claimed, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life” (John 8:12). In the deepest spiritual sense, Jesus dispels darkness and death, replacing them with light and life. His wasn’t a baseless claim. Jesus proved His ability to replace darkness with light by healing a blind man in Jerusalem, possibly on the very same day in which He declared Himself to be the light of the world. Just as Jesus could give physical sight to a blind man, He can also give spiritual light and life to those who are spiritually dead in spiritual darkness. Jesus alone can open our eyes to receive the light of life.
