Jesus healed a blind man: Ever since the world began, no one has been able to open the eyes of someone born blind. John 9:32
The Gospel of John is unique and distinct because it portrays Jesus as the personification of light, wisdom, joy, and goodness, and these teachings give the Gospel of John a very defined spiritual logic. In John's Gospel, Jesus' miracles are not random; most are directly related to his "I AM" statements. For example, when Jesus performed the multiplication of the loaves (John 6:1-15), this miracle served to explain that the "Son of Man" is the "bread of life" (John 6:34).
The Gospel of John relates that Jesus was in Galilee and was invited by his family to spend the Feast of Tabernacles in Judea. Jesus, fearing for his life, decided to go secretly, but once he arrived in Jerusalem, he soon attracted attention. The gospel relates that Jesus, after saving an adulterous woman from being stoned, was in the temple of Jerusalem, and there he affirmed: "I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life" John 8:12. When Jesus said these words, the Pharisees heard him and told him that his testimony was worthless, because he was only testifying about himself. Therefore, Jesus later healed a man born blind, so that the Father could bear witness to him with this incredible miracle.
The Gospel recounts that Jesus left the temple because his enemies wanted to stone him, and as he passed by, he saw a blind man; Jesus put mud on his eyes and told him to cleanse himself in the Pool of Siloam. And it was at that moment that Jesus repeated that he was the light of the world, and the blind man washed his eyes and thus was able to use his sight for the first time, because he was blind from birth. The man was then brought to the Pharisees who questioned him about Jesus, because they wanted to know if the man was a disciple of his. To which the man who had formerly been blind said about the miracle: "We know that God doesn't listen to sinners, but he is ready to hear those who worship him and do his will. Ever since the world began, no one has been able to open the eyes of someone born blind" John 9:31-32. This miracle of Jesus was the confirmation of the Father's testimony about his divinity. Jesus is then metaphorically that light, that is, that wisdom that came to illuminate the minds and eyes of men, as happened to the blind man. All Christians, after baptism, need that light which is Jesus to bear witness to the faith, and thus build a better world.
