From John 9

Sin didn't cause the man to be born blind. But sin does cause blindness.

It's like putting on glasses with someone else's prescription and paint stains on them. The information coming in via photons of light is correct, but it gets distorted on its way in. 'The Jews' didn't reject Jesus because of poor education or lack of information. Their sinful heart distorted how they saw things. In their sin they decided they were good.

No thanks Jesus, I can see quite fine without you. I don't need your light. I don't need anyone to teach me.


Yet the man born blind...

Do you believe in the Son of Man?

I don't know Jesus. No idea. But you've opened my eyes. You tell me what to believe, and I'll believe it. What should I believe? Who do I believe in?


I want the faith of a man born blind.
