Jesus Heals the Blind Man
Jesus gives sight to a man born blind and teaches that God's works can be seen in unexpected lives.
Short Bible Story Preview
Jesus saw a man who had been blind from birth. People asked whose sin had caused the blindness, but Jesus pointed them away from blame and toward God's work.
Jesus made mud, put it on the man's eyes, and told him to wash. The man obeyed, and he came back seeing. Some leaders argued about the miracle, but the healed man knew one thing clearly: he had been blind, and now he could see.
This story helps children learn compassion. People are not puzzles to blame; they are people God sees. Jesus brings light in ways that surprise everyone.
