Here are some questions based on last Sunday’s sermon text (John 9:35-41), in case they’re helpful to you for personal growth or group discussion…

• [35-37] Believing that Jesus is the Son of Man means personally trusting that he is God’s representative, that he demonstrates God’s good will toward us in his very person, his life, and his teachings. When can it be hard for you to believe in God’s goodness? How does the Gospel of Jesus Christ specifically address this for you? (The Gospel is the best, most reliable evidence of God’s goodness—do you believe it?)

• [38] The man whose eyes have been opened treated Jesus as God alone ought to be treated. What are some implications of the Christian worship of the God-man? Why might people resist this idea?

• [39-41] Do you know what Jesus means when he talks about spiritual sight and blindness? (Are you sure?) Describe these terms with reference to your own life experience and relationship with God…

• How can understanding that non-believers are spiritually blind change the way you respond to their antagonism toward your faith?
