"Whether he is a sinner I do not know. One thing I do know, that though I was blind, now I see." John 9: 25
"Why, this is an amazing thing! You do not know where he comes from, and yet he opened my eyes. we know that God does not listen to sinners, but if anyone is a worshiper of God and does his will, God listens to him. Never since the world began has it been heard that anyone opened the eyes of a man born blind. If this man were not from God, he could do nothing." They answered him, "You were born an utter sinner, and would you teach us?" And they cast him out.
~John 9: 30-34
It is such a great story about the man born blind. He has such amazing faith. He never presumes to know who Jesus is. He never presumes to know more than the Pharisees. Even when he gives the speech I quoted here, he is merely giving them a list of logical facts for them to follow. Of course, if they were logical, they would already know who Jesus is. Of course, they are not anywhere close to logical and so they wonder who Jesus is. They assume He is from the devil and ignore they fact He does miracles. The man born blind is right. No doubt He has a pretty big spot in Heaven. Faith like that makes anyone amazed.
I don't know the answers to your big theological questions, but I do know where I was and where I am.
That's the good news of Jesus. We don't have all the answers, but boy, do we have stories!!
