15. The Man Born Blind (John 9)
"I once was lost but now am found, was blind but now I see!" So goes John Newton's famous hymn, "Amazing Grace," an account of how God takes away our spiritual blindness. In this message on John 9, Michael Bouterse, director of Thrive Harbor, speaks on the story that inspired Newton's hymn, Jesus' healing of a man born blind. More than just a miracle, Jesus' actions point to the dangerous origins of spiritual blindness and what it takes to recover our sight.
Scripture passages cited (or alluded to) in this message include John 9; 20:30-31; Matthew 5:45; and Romans 1:18-20.
