When Jesus healed a blind man, you’d think his community would have celebrated his good fortune. Instead, the religious zealots of the day immediately turned on him and his family because he was giving Jesus the glory. Even though the evidence of his transformation spoke for itself, the Pharisees blatantly refused to give credit where credit was due. Alistair Begg describes this dramatic controversy and encourages us to stand up, like the blind man, for the truth of what God has done.
24So for the second time they called the man who had been blind and said to him, “Give glory to God. We know that this man is a sinner.”

Satan has a deadly grip on all those outside of Christ. Tragically, spiritual blindness prevents people from realizing their need and desiring the cure that only Christ can give. Religious people who think they have it all figured out and have no need are in the worst predicament of all, and they don’t even know it—until Jesus enters!
In this series, Alistair Begg teaches us through Jesus’ encounters with lost people, where we will be awed by their dramatic transformations from sinners to saints, from blind to seeing, from begging to worshipping. Believers can equip themselves for sharing God’s light in a dark world by learning from Jesus’ conversations, where He gently yet pointedly caused blind eyes to see their deepest need. Along the way, Scripture challenges us to ask the vital and unavoidable question that we all must answer: “Do you believe in the Son of Man?”
