Study Questions

  1. If you could perform any of the signs that Jesus did, which would you choose and why? How must the disciples in the book of Acts felt when they were able to perform miracles?
  2. In a sixth sign performed by Jesus, a blind man is healed and a conversation about sin arises. How did many people of Jesus' day view the relationship between sickness and sin? When have you heard this from people in our day? What is Jesus' view?
  3. In his second "I Am" statement in the gospel of John (8:12), Jesus claims to be the Light of the World. How does this spiritual claim pair up with the sign of the physical healing of the blind man?
  4. Why was Jesus so "hands-on" in this healing as compared to previous signs he worked?
  5. How did the Pharisees respond to this miracle? What emotions do you imagine this man must have had through this chapter? Why did Jesus seek him out a second time?
  6. The Pharisees had a stubborn spiritual blindness. What principles in this chapter could help us improve our spiritual eyesight?
