Carol at recently discovered Pool of Siloam (November 8, 2015)
Writing today from Burns, Oregon.
One of the signs of the coming Messiah was He would open the eyes of the blind (Isaiah 35:5). Messiah Jesus performed this miracle on a man born blind at the recently discovered (ca. 2004) Pool of Siloam. Only the Messiah could do such a thing (John 9:32). When the man believed, he worshipped.
Notice the confusion concerning Jesus (John 10:19-21)
- Some say he is “mad” (i.e. insane).
- Some say he “hath a devil.”
- Some question “Can a devil open the eyes of the blind?”
Rather, Jesus is the good shepherd who will “lay down [his] life for the sheep.”
Read John 9:1 – 10:21
