1. "And as Jesus passed by He saw a
lien which was blind from his birth."
in the order or events this lesson probably
preceded that of last week. it is the only
one given to us from that whole section
of John‘s gospel from chapter vii, 8.10 x,
it, in which we llndJesas st Jerusalem
teaching in the temple and hated by the
thief priests and Pharisees. In chapter
viii, it. 38. He proclaims Himself as the
light of the world and the light of life,
speaking only whatvtbe Father told Him
and doing always those things that please
Him, not asking His own [glory (verses
89, 50 i
ll. "And His disciples asked Elm, say-
ing, Master. who did sin, this man or his
parents, that he was born blind? It is a
common thing to suppose that special suf-
fering is caused by special sin and that
sickness is the result of individual sin.
This is sometimes the case as with the
men whom Jesus healed at the pool of
Bethesda (chapter viii, lri), but let as
carefully observe the touching of Jesus in
this lesson, and we shall coo“ that while
sin lies originally back of all sickness and
suffering, for had there been no sin, suf-
fering would not have boon, yet we must
not suppose in the case of any individual
that there has been any special sin or that
there is any luck of faith in God back of
the suffering.
8. “Jesus answered, Neither hath this
man sinned nor his parents, but that the
works of God should be made manifest in
him." There can be no contradictions
in Scripture, and as it is written that
"all have sinned” (Rom. ill, 23) Jesus
did not say that neither this man nor his
parents had never sinned, but in answer
to the disciple's question He said that this
blindness was not the result of any spe-
cial sin. Why, then, was this man born
blind? llcre is the answer, That the works
of God might be soon in him. We are re-
minded of the question in Ex. iv, ll,
“Who maketh the dumb or deaf, or the
seeing or the blind? Have not I, the Lord?"
4. “I must work theworks of Him that
sent mo while it is day. The night oomoth,
when no man can Work." Jesus delight-
ed to honor the Father and to call Him-
self “Sent of God." More than 80 times
in this gospel He is so called, and when
Ho finished ills ministry He said gladly to
His Father. "l have glurillod Theo on the
earth" (John xvii, i). As mall the works
wrought by film, He confessed that it was
