The finger of guilt was pointing. On whom should it stop? ... on "this man, or his parents"?
The man had been born blind. Christ Jesus' disciples assumed the blindness must have been the fault of the man or of his parents. But Jesus declared, "Neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents: but that the works of God should be made manifest in him."
John 9:2, 3.Then he proceeded to heal the blind man.
The material sense of life, which sees man as a mortal composed of evil as well as good, is the way life appears to most people. But such a creation cannot be real in the absolute sense of the word, because God, the only creator, is completely good, perfect Spirit, and contains no evil, materiality, or mortality. Therefore His creation cannot include these elements. What appears to be a material, physical sense of life must be of a dreamlike nature—unreal. Neither sin nor sinners nor any discord can actually be real or have power over us. It was on this basis that Christ Jesus healed the man born blind.
