Day 1- JESUS HEALS THE BLIND MAN

This story has so much to teach us that you are going to spend all week reading it.
For today, just read and take notes on what happens.
Read John 9:1-41

Day 2- GOD CAN USE ANY CIRCUMSTANCE

Read John 9:1-7
What did the disciples ask Jesus? How did Jesus respond?
Are you sick or born with disabilities because of sin?
Why did Jesus say this man was blind?
You are who you are because God made you that way. Yes, there are some things that happen in life, such as consequences, because you sinned. There are many things that will happen to you that are out of your control. Jesus is making it clear that when something happens that is out of your control, it’s not always because you sinned or didn’t have enough faith. God made you that way for a reason so others could see His work in you. This looks different for every person, but God can use anything to bring others to Himself. He promises in eternity you will be free from any sickness or ailment… so it won’t last forever. How have you seen God use someone’s sickness or disability to show others who He is and what He can do?

MEMORIZE IT.

And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. Romans 8:28

Day 3- THE GREAT DEBATORS

Read John 9:5-16
Who noticed the man born blind was now healed? To whom did the man give credit for his healing? Who did the neighbors bring to see him? What did the religious Jews ask the man?
Why were the religious people debating?
It is important for you to see this happening. The blind man clearly experienced Jesus heal him. There was enough proof that he was blind but now could see. But there were still people who argued and debated about if the things Jesus did really happened.
Have you ever met someone who does not believe Jesus did what He says He did?
Have you ever met someone who does not believe Jesus is the reason for the good or change you have experienced from Him in your life?

Day 4- GET OUT…

Read John 9:17-34
Who did the Pharisees seek out to prove that the man was really healed from blindness?
Did the blind man know who healed Him? Why was He so convinced?
The Pharisees believed that Jesus was a sinner and not God. They were trying to bully the man and his parents into what they believed. How did the man respond in verse 25?
What did the former blind man say to the Pharisees in verses 30-34?
Did the man believe Jesus was from God? How did the Pharisees respond?

Day 5- JESUS WILL FIND YOU

Read John 9:35-38
After the man is kicked out of the synagogue, what does Jesus do?
Did the man find Jesus or did Jesus find Him?
Read John 9:17
Who did the man believe Jesus to be at first? Is Jesus more than a prophet?
Read John 9:33. Did the man start to believe Jesus was from God?
Read John 9:35-38 again
Who did Jesus ask the man if he believed in? Did the man know who he was talking to? Why or why not? How did Jesus respond to his question? How did the man respond when Jesus told Him the truth?
