For Day 9 of the #AtoZChallenge, enjoy a poem based on the story of a blind man in the book of John whose life is changed forever after an encounter with Jesus. I Was Blind John 9:1-41 “Why was he born blind?” The disciples asked of Christ. “The sins of his parents Or his own preventing sight?” “Not because of sin – His own or his parents – But so that man would see God’s power is apparent.” Then Jesus made a paste From saliva and from dirt. He placed it on the eyes So the blindness would revert. Jesus sent him to Siloam To wash in waters there. The beggar’s eyes were healed Which brought amazement everywhere. “Who healed you? What has happened? Where’s this man? Who is he?” The beggar said, “He’s Jesus. I was blind, but now I see!”
