The Pharisees Investigate the Healing

John 9:13-20

They brought to the Pharisees the man who had been blind. Now the day on which Jesus had made the mud and opened the man's eyes was a Sabbath. Therefore the Pharisees also asked him how he had received his sight. "He put mud on my eyes," the man replied, "and I washed, and now I see."

Some of the Pharisees said, "This man is not from God, for he does not keep the Sabbath." But others asked, "How can a sinner do such miraculous signs?" So they were divided.

Finally they turned again to the blind man, "What have you to say about him? It was your eyes he opened." The man replied, "He is a prophet."

The Jews still did not believe that he had been blind and had received his sight until they sent for the man's parents. "Is this your son?" they asked. "Is this the one you say was born blind? How is it that now he can see?"

"We know he is our son," the parents answered, "and we know he was born blind."

I don't know about you, but sometimes when I hear nowadays about miraculous healings being had all over the world through the power of God...I doubt. Who am I to doubt? I am so like these pharisees, demanding tests & proof. Who am I to do such? If you are anything like me, it's time to think about the fact that God is truly all good AND all powerful at the exact same time...why wouldn't He still heal in such amazing ways?
