John 9 Jesus Heals a Man Born Blind (NEW LIVING TRANSLATION)
1 As Jesus was walking along, he saw a man who had been blind from birth.
2 “Rabbi,” his disciples asked him, “why was this man born blind? Was it because of
his own sins or his parents’ sins?” 3 “It was not because of his sins or his
parents’ sins,” Jesus answered. “This happened so the power of God could be seen
in him. 4 We must quickly carry out the tasks assigned
us by the one who sent us.[a] The night is coming, and then no one can work.
5 But while I am here in the world, I am the light of the world.” 6 Then he spit on the
ground, made mud with the saliva, and spread the mud over the blind man’s
eyes. 7 He told him, “Go wash yourself in the pool of Siloam” (Siloam means “sent”).
So the man went and washed and came back seeing! 8 His neighbors and others who knew him as
a blind beggar asked each other, “Isn’t this the man who used to sit and
beg?” 9 Some said he was, and others said, “No, he just looks like him!”
But the beggar kept saying, “Yes, I am the same one!” 10 They asked, “Who healed
you? What happened?” 11 He told them, “The man they call Jesus
made mud and spread it over my eyes and told me, ‘Go to the pool of Siloam and wash yourself.’
So
I went and washed, and now I can see!” 12 “Where is he now?” they asked. “I don’t know,” he replied.
I appreciate the attitude of this blind beggar. I have nothing to lose and everything to see.

Jesus truly heals, cares, saves. I have no story to tell if I don't have experience
of my own. Methodist church.
More to be a missionary. I want to see God my own way. I want to see, smell, touch,
hear, I want to feel. Because I want an experience in my life that
no one can take away. I heard stories from pastors
about wonder working of God, those are great, but how do you get
your own experience. How do you get your own impact that changes the way you
believe who Jesus is.
