We read of the many healings of Jesus Our Lord, but the one that has always stood out to me is in
John 9:1 through 7.
It is where Jesus speaks to the blind man that was blind not due to sin but for the glory of God Our Father.
The reason it stood out was because when Jesus healed this blind man, He spat on the ground and made mud , which He spread on the mans eyes. Then told him to go wash in the pool of (Siloam.)
(meaning one who was sent)
In all of the other healings of Jesus he simply said your sins are forgiven, yet this healing was different.
Last night as I read this , I wondered again, then it hit me that when God Our Father made man, he formed him from clay, mud.
The significence was the mud, when affliction is from sin, Jesus forgave thus freeing the person from their affliction.
But when the affliction is to glorify God, it is of creation, thus by putting the mud on the mans eyes it represented the completion, or correction of creation.
So what do you think, am I totally off base here? Or does this make sence?
Thankyou and God bless.
