When Jesus sees the blind man, he says, “While I am in the world, I am the light of the world.” Once the blind man is healed, the people ask, “Isn’t this the one who used to sit and beg?” They betray their own b l i n d n e s s : “ M a n s e e s t h e appearance but the Lord looks into the heart.” The blind man answers using words that Christ uses of himself; he says, “I am.” Is this a coincidence? The man was born blind “so that the works of God might be made visible through him.” “Light produces every kind of goodness and righteousness and truth.”
