Yes, I know what you mean, he shouldn't really have cured the man on the Sabbath, but at the same time, I'll bet the Blind Man is glad that he did. Just imagine living in darkness all your life and then suddenly you can see! Wow!
You can Wow as much as you like, the simple truth is, he broke the Sabbath. The law says we should keep the Sabbath and he didn't, so, far from being from God, the bloke is as big a sinner as the blind man. And, may I remind you that that the Blind One was blind from birth so born in sin,
The trouble with these low-class characters is that they love a bit of attention. As soon as the Blind one began to feel a bit special, (as good as everyone else even,) he started seeing things and all because that Jesus fellow made him feel above himself. There's always trouble when that happens. Keep the rules, I say, and the law will make sure we don't get carried away with big ideas. Got that, mate?
Yes, yes I've got that, of course I have, I try to keep the law myself, remember. But I think you may be missing something yourself.
Such as?
Well it wasn't just the eyesight was it?
Oh! what then?
Look, it's not an easy thing being expelled from the synagogue, but that blind guy took it well enough. And I reckon he did so because he thought he'd found something better.
Better than the synagogue?
Yes, just that. I know this is dangerous talk for me but I think you're wrong when you said he started seeing things.It was a lot more than that.
Go on
Well the one thing the Blind One had come to see clear as day was Jesus himself. He saw him so clearly and in such a new way that he actually worshipped him. Now that's a real Wow for you.
Careful now my friend, you're beginning to sound a bit different yourself. You sure you can handle this?
Well I'll only know by trying won't I? I'll definitely think about it. How about you?
I'll admit it's a puzzle how he does signs like these, but no, I'll stick to the law. Safer, that way I reckon.
