And the blind receive their sight....

John 9 tells the story of Jesus and the man born blind. Very early in the account Jesus heals the man and from that point on the story is about the many other blind people that surround Jesus and this man. The neighbours...the Pharisees...the man's parents...all suffer from blindness of one kind or another. There is a real irony in the fact that it is through the healing of this blind man that the blindness of others is revealed.
