 So yeah, 10 minutes, 10 o'clock. Thank you for reminding. Who else is missing here? I think Siddharth, I hope he doesn't come at 11 o'clock. Just if one of you can message him, please do that. Siddharth, who else? Kannan also. Kannan also was there in the previous session. So please do let them know. Sorry for the confusion that I caused. OK, so let's continue. We're having a very intense sort of a situation here where Jesus is boldly claiming to be the Messiah while the leaders are keen to oppose that. So now he's going ahead and encouraging these people to believe in him, because it's only if they believe in him that they can overcome the consequences of sin. So Jesus tells them, again, when they say who are you and they question him, he again makes that claim. He tells them, I'm from heaven. I belong to the Father and all of that. And then he continues. He says, look, those who believe, so those who believe in John 832, he says, some of the Jews believed when Jesus spoke. So to them, he's saying that if you abide in me, if you abide in my word, you are my disciples indeed. So do you see this kind of statement anywhere else? Any other passage in the Bible, which is common? If you abide in my word, anyone can recall? Any common passage? Good, good Kiran. So John chapter 15, we will come to that. That's also a very, very famous passage. But here, we see one glimpse of what Jesus is trying to say. So he's basically telling the people that if they believe in the word and they give attention to the word of God, then they will continue to be the disciples. So how can we continue to be the disciples of Jesus today? We have to pay attention to the word. Attention to the word, listen, follow, obey, all that. Then he says, you shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free. So he's saying that the word is so important. And the word is the truth. So when we base our life on the truth of God's word, he's also telling us that we can walk in the liberty of God. We can walk in the liberty that freedom God gives to live our lives. That is one thing. But freedom to relate with God, freedom to enjoy God, that is also something that comes from the truth of his word. So to those who believe, he is pointing them to the word and saying, you be encouraged, you follow the word. That way, you will be my disciples. So some of the people, they answer back and they say, we are Abraham's descendants and have never been in bondage to anyone. How can you say you will be made free? So the reason why the statement is coming up is because he's talking to the Jews. Jews are Abraham's descendants. And they went through captivity. We know that they were in Egypt for some time. But now they're out. So they didn't understand. See, again, Jesus is saying something, but understanding is the issue. They did not fully understand what he was trying to get to them. So Jesus, using this opportunity, he says that, look, it's not about freedom from any human master. So he clarifies and he says that, assuredly I say to you, whoever commits sin is a slave to sin. So he's talking about a worse master. That is sin. What does sin do to us? Sin holds us captive. Sin can control our lives. Jesus understood that. Sometimes we look at sin and we only feel that there will be some consequences or results where we will have to deal, OK, if I lie, then this will happen. It doesn't please God. And also the results of sin, we don't want in our lives. But at the same time, Jesus is revealing to them and he's telling that it's not just about cause and effect. It's about getting entangled. Because sin is like a slave master. You go into the trap and then the door is shut. And sin will keep controlling you. It will keep driving you and making you move in that wrong path. So that is the bondage which he's talking about. So he's saying, if you don't want to be caught in that bondage of sin, then depend on the word of God. Go by the truth of God's word. So that's what he says. I assuredly I say to you, whoever commits sin is a slave to sin. So in that context, I'm telling you, you will be liberated. You shall know the truth and the truth will set you free from the slave, from sin, which is like a master. Then he says that the slave does not abide in the house forever, but the son abides forever. Therefore, if the son makes you free, you shall be free indeed. So if that slave master is powerful and he can control the lives of those who are sinning, then he's reminding the believers and he's telling them that, look, the son of God is greater than that slave master. So if he can put you under bondage, that master of sin, the son of God can set you free in a greater way. So don't worry. Give yourself to the truth of God's word. You will remain in the truth. You will be free even if you are in bondage. If the son makes you free, you shall be free indeed. So he's proclaiming freedom for God's people, freedom from sin. Then now he's touching another point. Just now they said, oh, what freedom are you talking about? So freedom was the issue that he addressed. Now he's going to refer to the point which they made about, we are Abraham's descendants. So he's telling them, you're talking about Abraham. But you still seek to kill me and you don't understand my word. But he's going on to clarify to them something about his, how he relates to Abraham. So then when he is talking about these matters, he brings up this issue about them being Abraham's descendants. They quickly answer him. They say, Abraham is our father, as if Jesus doesn't know. So Jesus tells them, look, if you are Abraham's children, then you would do the works of Abraham. So what is Abraham? What do we call Abraham? What is the work of Abraham? As per Hebrews 11, what can we say about Abraham? Or also I think Romans 4, what can we say about Abraham? OK, Kiran says faith. OK, Kiran says faith. That's right. So till now, Jesus is encouraging people to believe in him. Again, he says, if you claim you are Abraham's descendants, then you should do what Abraham did. What did Abraham do? He believed. He believed God. So you do the works of Abraham. But look at this. You are not listening to the truth which I'm telling you. You are seeking to kill me. These are the kind of deeds which you are doing. And you're saying Abraham is your father. Father Abraham is about faith. So if you are truly a descendant, you should be a child of faith. But there's no faith in you. So he says, you do the deeds of your father. So Jesus is kind of rebuking them. He's saying your true father, even though in the natural it is Abraham, let's see which father he's talking about. It'll come a little later. So he's rebuking them. Then we move on. They respond to him. And they say, why are you questioning our father? Because earlier they questioned him and said, who is your father? Now, they are getting offended. They're like, how can you question about our father? We are not born of fornication. We have one father, God. So they also respond like Jesus, you're claiming God is your father, father. So they're also saying, yeah, God is only our father. Now, Jesus says, if God were your father, you would love me because, you know, the father would have revealed it to you that I am the son because I proceeded forth and came from God. Okay, I'm not come of myself. But you don't understand my speech. You know why? Because you are putting your faith, he already said, right, your father, you are believing your father, you do the deeds of your father. So now in a more direct way, he's rebuking them. And he's saying, verse 44, he says, you are of your father, the devil. So he must have really offended them because he is not interested in them claiming these big things, Abraham is our father and all because there's no faith. If you are child of Abraham, you should have faith. You are the child of the devil, he says. So your father is the devil and the desires of your father you want to do. He was a murderer from the beginning. You know, when we study about believers authority and we describe the works of Satan and who is Satan, even there are some nice description points here. He is the devil, he is the murderer. Remember Jesus, you know, later he will share in the book of John itself. He comes to steal, kill and destroy. He's very interested in causing us trouble. That is his primary focus. So he's a murderer. He does not stand in the truth, okay? Because there's no truth in him. So can we say he's a liar? Yeah. So all these are descriptions of the devil. So he's a deceiver speaking lies. He's a murderer, he's the devil. Then when he speaks the lie, okay? He speaks of his himself. So there is no basis to what he is saying. He's not basing it on the word of God. But Jesus is speaking on the basis of the word of God. But still he's so sad that the people are not believing the truth that he is speaking. But they are saying that Jesus is the one who is against God, the Father. So he says that if you are truly from God, then you would believe me. Now let's move forward. You know, Jesus is making these claims. It sounds like one, you know, in a court when you go, there is a case, right? And then the person who is accused, they have to prove that, you know, they are not accused and who they really are. So it almost sounds like that the Jews are accusing Jesus and Jesus is presenting his case. He's making his claims about his identity. So let's go on. What does Jesus reveal? You know, more and more about himself. So the Jews are upset by the answers that they are getting. So now their accusation becomes very weird. So they say, do we not say rightly that you are a Samaritan and you have a demon? So their words are not even logical anymore. They just want to catch him with something. We don't know why they're calling him a Samaritan. But maybe they're calling him a demon because they got offended. He's telling that Satan is their father. So they're telling, okay, you will tell us that Satan is our father. You have a demon. You know, so it's becoming like a tit for tat kind of a situation. So now Jesus answers them. He says, I don't have a demon, but I honor my father. Okay. And you are dishonoring me. So Jesus is speaking the truth and that is a hard hitting for the Jews. So he's saying, basically you're dishonoring me. You're dishonoring the father and I don't seek my own glory. But I'm seeking the glory of the father. Okay. And if you keep my word, then again, he, it's like the heart of a savior. Right. So he is rebuking them. Yes. But he's again and again telling them, look, if you don't believe you will die. And then here in verse 51, he says, most assuredly, I say to you, if anyone keeps my word, he shall never see that. So he's trying to convince them and bring them back to the fact that. Okay. All this discussion arguments, you put it aside. You need to be saved. I am the Messiah. I have come to save you. So then the Jews, you know, they again get back to him and they say, how that you say now that we know that you have a demon, you know, Abraham is dead and the prophets and you say, if anyone keeps my word, he shall never taste death. So they are trying to twist and turn his words. He just said he does not have a demon. And they are saying, now we know that you have a demon. Okay. And Abraham is dead. All the prophets are dead. But you're how is it that you're telling that if we believe in your words, we will never die. So they are kind of going to that place to prove him wrong. And they found a point actually. They are telling that. So Jesus, you're trying to say you're greater than Abraham. Okay. Who do you think you are? So again, question. Who are you? How dare you know that kind of a question they're putting forth to Jesus. So again, Jesus, you know, continuing with the same claims. He says, look, if I honor myself, my honor is nothing. It is my father who honors me of whom you say that he is your God. So he's saying, look, I'm not saying anything different. Just because I brought up Abraham, you know, don't think that I'm trying to lie to you. But he's saying only based on what the father is saying, you know, I'm speaking. And this father is none other than your very God. Okay. Yet, even though I'm trying to honor him, yet you have not known him. But I know him. If I say, you know, I do not know him, I shall be a liar. So basically Jesus is saying, I'm speaking the truth to you. Okay. You better believe me. But I do know him and I keep his word. Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day and he saw it and was glad. Okay. So now again, you know, when you listen to the statement in verse 56, it sounds bizarre because you know what Jesus is saying? He's saying that I am not created. He's saying your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day. So Abraham was also in a way waiting for the revelation of the Messiah. Okay. Because did every other child of God, every other great man and woman of God that we read about. So he's telling, look, even Abraham, he knew that I'm going to come one day. He saw it and he was glad. So how did he see it? He must have seen it by faith that one day the Messiah will come and he rejoiced in his lifetime. He has already rejoiced about me whom you are rejecting your father Abraham has rejoiced. So now the Jews are getting really, really, you know, very, I'd already said weird with their comments. You have a demon. Okay. And you don't follow like God is our father. You don't follow the father. So all these accusations, you are a Samaritan. Now they're telling him, how can you say, you know, that you have seen Abraham. He didn't say he has seen Abraham. He said Abraham has seen my day, but they are twisting it. How can you say that you have seen Abraham. So they're telling Jesus, you're talking like you are very wise. Okay. And they kind of put this out and they say, you're not yet 50 years old. You know, how in our part of the world they say things like you're not even, you know, 18 years old, you're not yet left school, college, you know, how can you, how can you talk about money or how can you, what knowledge do you have? What experience do you have? Basically, it's like that. It's like saying, what experience, what authorizes you to talk about Abraham and God and all these big, big things. You're not even 50 years old. So apparently, in the Jewish culture, 50 was the time when these, you know, these, these learned men would retire. It's like they have seen it all in their experience. They have studied, they have taught, they have applied the word of God and they have seen it all. Basically, they are full of experience. That's what 50 years is referring to. But the Jews are telling Jesus, you're talking like you have experienced it all. You're not even 50 years old. Jesus is some 30 years old here. So how is it that, you know, Abraham, you have seen Abraham. Now, till now, everything that Jesus said was hard to digest for the Jews. Okay. He's saying, even Abraham has rejoiced about me. So it's like they cannot digest this at all. Now comes like the cherry on the, on the cake. Okay. Or the, the last stone that, that will tip the scale. So it's like, you know, the last boulder. They're getting shot by this last statement that Jesus is going to make now. So after everything that Jesus said, Jesus says, most assuredly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I am, what sense does it make? Doesn't make any sense. You know, before Abraham was, okay, let's try to, you know, logically look at what Jesus is saying. Sorry. Yeah. Logically look at what he's saying. He's saying, before Abraham was, so that is the duration when Abraham lived the past. So Abraham lived in the past. He's saying, before Abraham lived, I am. He should have said, I was, what grammar is this? He's saying, before Abraham, I existed. But what is the way in which Jesus is telling this? He says, before Abraham was, I am now for a Jew. You remember Moses at the burning bush when he goes and he asks God who is speaking through the burning bush and tells, okay, I'll go, I'll go to Pharaoh. I will rescue the people. I will lead the people. But what shall I say? Who has sent me? Because they will ask, who has sent me? God says from the burning bush, you know, I am that I am. So the title I am was very clearly used for Jehovah God. Okay. And the Jews knew that very well. So Jesus is like, okay, I tried to tell you like this, like that in so many ways. You're not getting it. Last, you know, like, this is it. Before Abraham was, he uses that phrase, which is in their face to tell them I am God. I am Messiah. So he tells them before Abraham was, I am. So when they heard that for them, it was like, we cannot, we are so angry with you. We can't have this conversation anymore. How can you say being a man? How can you say that you are God? And you're saying I am meaning are you that God who spoke from the burning bush? Are you the God who led the Israelites out of Egypt and took care of the Israelites for 40 years? Are you sure? You are that person? Being a human being, how can you say that? So they were very angry with Jesus for this, you know, main and direct claim that he's making. And he's saying, I am self-existent, you know, meaning not created. I was not created. I've always existed. Even Abraham, I was there. So he's clearly telling them, I am the Messiah. I am God. So verse 59, what is their response? Hardness of heart. Not able to receive the truth. Now they stop their questioning. They take up stones to throw at him. Why? Because it's blasphemy. You know, you are equating yourself with God. You should die. That is the conclusion they've come to. They have taken up the stones to throw at him. But Jesus hid himself and went out of the temple going through the midst of them and so passed by. So he escaped basically. But is he trying to hide who he is? No. At this point, you know, Jesus is quite bold. He is telling people things as it is. So we saw, even after chapter 7, we saw how people were opposing him, questioning him, wanting to know his identity, but he continued his ministry. He came to the temple and over there, he went ahead and taught people. Now, after this next session of accusing and condemning and all that, he is still continuing his work. He just escaped and then we'll see what Jesus is doing. So we move on to chapter 9 here. It says, now as Jesus passed by, as if nothing has happened, you know, passed by meaning he has planned his work. He's going ahead and doing his work. He's not stopping what he needs to do. So he is just passing by. Then at that time, you know, he sees a man who was blind by birth. So again, you know, in that culture, it was a very, like, you know, something to do with the curse or something like that, you know, which causes people to be blind. So when they would see blind people, they would ask you certain things about them and just judge. So he sees this one blind person who is blind by birth. So immediately the disciples ask him this question. They say, Rabbi, who sent this man or his parents that he was born blind? Okay. So when we look at the scenario, you know, sometimes it reminds us of us because we may see people in difficulty, in trouble. Instead of thinking that they need help, okay, they need to be set free. The normal human responses we want to figure out. Why is he in this situation? Did he manage his finances properly? So why are they going through this argument? Okay, are they, you know, do they have the right attitude? You know, did they lie? Did they do this? Did they do that? Or if we cannot come up with a conclusion about what was done by the individual, then sometimes we go back to blame. Is it the sin which his parents have committed? You know, all these questions come up. So the attitude is not to solve the problem. The attitude is to simply wake up, you know, old stories and try to come to a logical, sometimes even theological conclusion. You know, sometimes as believers, leave the people of the world, sometimes as believers also. We start going into this kind of mode where we say, okay, there is the sickness, why, what, who. There's nothing wrong as long as we are looking for a reason. Now, if I find out, okay, why is this happening? Then I can pray against that or I can cast out if it is a demon. I can cast it out. But my mindset should be for the solution. Not simply, you know, like a theological thing. There's no end to it. You just keep asking, okay, why, okay, the scripture says like that. That scripture says like this. So it's not for a productive reason, you know, when we ask such questions. So if we ask some questions like this, it should be for the sake of finding a solution. But here, you know, the disciples, they are like the people of their times. When you see a blind person, born blind, they want to know, why is this man cursed? What exactly happened? So they're going into that mode. Look at Jesus' priority. So Jesus, he quickly shifts the focus. Okay. So for the disciples, it's a matter of theology. Okay, come, Jesus, let's have one more discussion. What is the reason? Who is responsible? Jesus says, look, either this man, nor his parents sinned, but shift focus to what? That the works of God should be revealed in him. Okay. I must work the works of him who sent me while it is day. The night is coming when no one can work. As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world. So Jesus is very solution minded. He says, okay, whatever be the reason for this man to be blind, is that more important than giving him sight? Let us focus on giving him the sight. Then if he receives the sight, what will happen? You know, God's glory will be revealed. How is God's glory revealed? We saw all the miracles, the signs, the healings, the deliverances that Jesus did. He was revealing the glory of the Father. So he wanted to continue to reveal and reflect who God is, how good God is, and that was his priority. So he says, but in this case, he did have an answer. So he gave the answer also. He said, it's not what you're thinking. It's not this man or his parents. So then people ask the question, sin leads to sickness, isn't it? So how is it that some people are sick and, you know, it's not the parents who have sinned and all. So what is your answer? If the parents didn't sin or the person didn't sin, then what is the reason? How can somebody be born sick or somebody be born, you know, sometimes a special child, you know, you're born with some syndromes and all. Obviously, it's not the child because the child was born like that. Maybe even the parents didn't sin. So how did they, how did the child become like that? Who sinned? I mean, I just want to know your thoughts. Okay. Aaron says add in sin. What about any other thoughts here? Demonic works. Okay. Okay. Fine. Generational sin. Okay. You mean grandparents and they're there from there it could come. Maybe. Yeah. That could be a reason. What else? See, in this case, Jesus says, neither this man nor his parents sinned. You know, one of the things which we can like settle our minds upon is, you know, in this world, I said Adam's sin. The world is as it is corrupted by sin. Okay. So even when we have walked righteous or the parents have been righteous people, sometimes, you know, we don't actually, we don't know all the details, but we could, you know, see that to the best of their abilities. You've seen the parents are living righteously. Grandparents have lived righteously. They have dealt and prayed about every generational sin. They have, you know, overcome those things and all, but still something like this happens in the family. So this world is corrupted by sin. So even when, let's say, the people don't sin, such things can happen just by virtue of the fact that, you know, we are here in the world and the world is corrupted by sin. Okay. So some sickness could happen. Some challenge could happen. Right. And every time we should not look to blame who is responsible for this result. But it could just be that, you know, parents are good believers, but still the child is a special child. So what do you do in that situation? We just do what we know to do, which is to show the love of God, to take care of that child, to be a blessing to that child. Right. If we just keep going back on how did this happen? How did this happen? What is the theological reason behind it? You know, it might, I don't know. I mean, it's good to ask a question, but it's not good to get caught up and let those things pull you down instead. You, based on whatever we know, we will, you know, do our part to be a blessing to that child. Okay. So that is one point that I just wanted to bring here. When we ask this question, like, you know, where is the sin? Who's sin? Also be very aware that we should be solution minded. So Jesus does that. He just says that it's not this man, nor his parents, but so that the works of God be revealed. And one more thing he says, he says, while it is day, then I do the works of the father because night is coming and no one can work. So what Jesus is saying is, see, even in his lifetime, there was a limitation. He knew that he cannot keep doing this, you know, displaying the glory of God in this way forever because they will put him under trial and he will have to go up on the cross. So he was keen on, you know, how he said, I've come here to finish the works of the father. So he was keen on doing the works of God as long as there is an open window for service. Even us, you know, today, we might just take things very lightly and say, ah, we can preach the gospel, we can do all these things, no problem. But, you know, we should be grateful for those moments. And when you have the opportunity, be passionate and keep doing it. Not that the opportunity will go, but, you know, we can't say, what if we go through some tough times where they say, okay, don't preach the gospel or, you know, we have opposition. We don't know, but in the case of Jesus, he clearly knew that this is the open window and I must serve God. So when there is an opportunity to serve God, we should take it up. We should not delay. We should, you know, be grateful. Wow, I can do this. Let me do it. So he says, let me continue to do the works of God and Jesus knew that through him, this blind man is going to be healed. So he continues. So as he was telling all these things and the disciples are talking with Jesus, here is what Jesus does. He spits on the ground and he made some clay, right? With spit and he looked it and he put it on the man's eyes, blind man, his eyes. Then he tells him, you go and wash in the pool of Siloam. So he went and washed and came back seeing. Okay, now let me just keep this question also before you. What exactly was going on? Jesus took his spit in the clay and put it on the blind man's eyes. What do you feel about this? I don't know about you, but when I heard it, I didn't like it that much. So it is a very unusual way of working American. This man, it is, you know, it is a miraculous thing, right? Somebody was born blind to be able to see and how does he do the healing? We've seen that he told the paralyzed man, you get up, take up your bed, you walk. You know, Jesus does things like that, lay hands, command. He told that noble man whose son was sick, okay, I spoke just now, you go, your son will be fine. So there are different ways in which each healing takes place. This particular healing, what is this weird method? So even today, right, it's not a formula. Now, sometimes we will tell the people, okay, brother, you pray on that glass of water and you drink it, you know, you will be fine. Or we will take some oil, we'll pray over the oil because, you know, James 5 talks about it. We'll put it on their head and we rebuke the sickness in the name of Jesus, right? We pray a prayer of faith that person is healed. Now, every time we cannot use like a formula, we have to go how the Holy Spirit is leading. So here, Jesus has done something very different. Take the spit mix with clay, put it on the person's eyes. So being led by the Holy Spirit is what is important, okay? Now, why is it that, you know, we don't complain about this method that Jesus used? Because what happens is when he, okay, therefore the neighbors and those who previously had seen that he was blind-set is not this he who sat and begged. So once this person comes back seeing, okay, actually I missed that was it's end of verse 7. He says, so he went and washed and came back seeing, you know, whatever method we use, how can it be justified? Provided the work of God is done, provided the miracle is done. So in this case though Jesus is using such a different method, we see at the end of verse 7 that he came back seeing. So as long as, you know, that miracle takes place, okay? There might be a different way in which the Holy Spirit is asking you to minister. In the case of Peter, we saw, Peter's shadow falling on people. That was healing the people. But people were getting healed. So that's why there was no doubt that Peter is trying to make it up. No, because you can see the result. Similarly, you have Paul, his handkerchiefs and cloth which have touched his body. That is bringing about healing for people. So people were delivered to what extent, they were bringing other people from close by places for healing because it was working. Again, in Jesus' case, it's very weird what he did. But how did it get justified? When Jesus did that, the man went, washed his eyes, he came back seeing. So we know that God only led him to do something like that. So it's not in the method. You have to depend on the Holy Spirit. But again, it could be a very different way in which God asks us to minister to somebody. But when the work of God is done, it is very, very powerful. So I remember once, I think some of you all are aware that my mother was very ill. She was diagnosed with the final stage of cancer. She was going through a very hard time. And one of those periods, her oxygen saturation level went down very low. So we prayed and all. But we just didn't know what to do because the doctors had told us that, they had given us some time and then said, okay, whatever, 24 hours, 48 hours, slowly it will drop and we cannot do anything to help her to come out of this. So you all just spent time with her like that they told us. So that day we went, we prayed, we were with her because we thought, okay, if it was two days, we'll just spend with her. So we were just with her. Then after praying, one of us, I don't remember exactly who it was, but somebody, family or friends, they said, okay, how about we pray? There was only a small banana kept on the table. So we said, okay, we'll pray over that banana and we will give it to her and we will pray that God will strengthen her body and her breathing. Her breathing capacity will get better. So we prayed and we gave her that banana and it was so miraculous because till that time, all the senior doctors they came, they saw, they had also put the machines. They had connected all the machines to help her and they told us, we have tried this for quite a few days now, it is not working. Medicine is not working, machines are not working, nothing is working. We cannot help it. So you just make up your mind. So we prayed for her, we gave her that banana and it was really a miracle because even the pulmonologist, the lung specialist, she was with us and we were looking at the saturation levels. You can read on the monitor, the saturation was so low, it was half of normal. What a normal human being should have. And in front of our eyes, in the next couple of hours, it went back to normal. So it was weird because we have never done this before. Praying over a banana and giving it to someone, at least I have never done that. But long story short, without any intervention, even the doctors after they saw that, they said we have nothing to do with this improvement because we have done, we didn't give her medicine, we didn't change the machine, nothing. Automatically it has gone up. So they themselves said that it's a miracle. To kind of just close the story, they had told that my mother will live only for two days but she lived for two and a half years after that. And her breathing was kind of okay to sustain her for another two and a half years. So just sharing, because you're talking about anointing and unusual ways in which God works. So it's like, it's again not in the method also. It's in how the Holy Spirit leads you and when you follow the Holy Spirit's leading, you see the result. In this case, people could have blamed Jesus and said how can you put spit on a man's eyes? But if that has made a man who is blind from birth to see, okay Jesus do whatever you want, no problem. Because there is a result. And some people also say that you know how in Peter's cloth there was anointing, right? And with that anointing healed the people. They touched the cloth and people were delivered, demons left people. So maybe in the saliva of Jesus there was anointing. I don't know. Possible, I don't know. What is the technique? We don't know. I don't think I've seen anybody do this because you know something with saliva and put it. So unless we are led by the Holy Spirit, it's very weird to do something like this. So now you see the best judges of a miracle like this is the family and the neighbors. So the neighbors are looking at this man who is healed and they are saying, isn't he that same guy who sat and he begged because he was blind? Or you know others are saying how is it possible for a blind man to see? It must be somebody who looks like him. You know just check maybe there are twins or there are people who look similar in the city. So they are getting confused because again you know like we saw in the book of Acts, right? Peter and John heal a lame man who was born lame from birth and again we saw Paul when he did that they treated him and Barnabas like gods in the city of Lystra because from birth these people cannot walk. Same situation. From birth this man cannot see and when he is able to see people are astonished and they are trying to make sense of it. Some are saying that he is not that guy some are saying he is a lookalike but that man is claiming ok maybe he had his Adarkand so he is proving he is saying hey wait wait it's me only you know look at my face look at my fingerprint look at everything it's me I am he then they question him how are your eyes open if it is you how is this possible so then you know he tells about Jesus he says look a man called Jesus he did this he put some clay anointed my eyes and he doesn't I think he doesn't know that it was a spit or so at least he doesn't mention it so he says he anointed he told me to go to the pool of Siloam wash it I did it and you know I received my sight so it seems like he did not know much about Jesus and maybe it's just my assumption maybe he did not have faith also I don't know because he is telling a man called Jesus did this but it was the work of the father which Jesus wanted to perform and Jesus tells him to do this he gets healed now start the questions of these Jews and Pharisees they always end up asking the wrong questions so they said to him where is he so why because they want to catch him about this matter as well and finally this man says I don't know so let's do this we will pause at this point because it's 10.49 you don't have to come back at 11 o'clock ok we will just close and we will pray yeah one of us could you please pray and we will end the call Arendt yeah sure sure thank you Lord for blessing this they know for them whatever we have learned the truth from your work Lord Father help us all to apply this in our daily work with you and Lord Father let us be the doer of your work and Lord Father help us all to trust in you alone so Lord Father I pray that Lord Father help us and let us not lean in our own understanding or in the worldly stuff but Lord Father help us all to fix our eyes in you alone so Lord Father place everyone and I submit this whole session into you loving it Amen yeah amen thank you thank you Arendt we will stop here you can go on to your next class and we will connect in the next session and continue ok so thank you class thank you God bless you bye thank you man thank you thank you bye take care
