Day 3: John 9:35-41
Stories: For Judgment I have come into this world
Curiosities:
1) Why did Jesus immediately ask the blind man if he believed in the “Son of Man?” What a strange thing to ask the man. How would the man have known what Jesus was asking?
2) Jesus tells the Pharisees that they would actually be better off if they were blind, but because they say they can see they are now held guilty and to a higher standard.
Paradoxes: One of the greatest ongoing paradoxes of John, Jesus says here that it was for the very specific reason of judgment that He came into the world. Why does Jesus use the idea of judgment in so many different ways in John?
