Small Group Discussion
Read John 9

  1. What was your big “take-away” from this passage / message?

  2. Would the man have been healed if he didn’t go wash in the pool (John 9:7)? Why do you think Jesus healed the man this way, instead of just healing him “instantly”?

  3. Their opinions ignored the facts (John 9:24, 34). What are ways people do that in our day, especially regarding Jesus and the Bible?

  4. Why do you think people repeatedly asked the man HOW he was healed? See (John 9:10, 15, 19, 26).

  5. Explain John 9:39 in your own words. How do you reconcile these words with Jesus’ previous statement that He came not to judge (John 3:17-18).
