WHERE IS HE?

Today's reading: John 9-10

"They asked, Who healed you? What happened? He told them, The man they call Jesus made mud and smoothed it over my eyes and told me, Go to the pool of Siloam and wash off the mud. I went and washed, and now I can see! Where is he now? they asked. I don't know, he replied." John 9:10-12 NLT

This man, who had been blind since birth.

Who had never seen the sun shine, his mother's face, the yellow of a dandelion or the cracks in the stone sidewalk at the front of his childhood home--could now see.

His life had completely changed. And with that change arose a problem.

The problem?

The problem wasn't the quizzical church leaders who were hounding him about the healing.

The problem wasn't the new life he would try to lead.

The problem wasn't even the nagging question as to whether or not the blindness would eventually return.

The problem was--he had already lost sight of the One who had healed him.
