đAlright class, welcome back to Biblical Comment Etiquette with Hiram Noel Mendez Virolaâthatâs right, straight from New York State, born in Puerto Rico, and here to bless your screen with a gospel lesson dipped in Peace and Love and sanctified mud.
Today weâre cracking open John Chapter 9, a.k.a. âJesus Heals a Blind Dude with a DIY Spa Treatment.âđŻ
đ¤¨So here's what goes down: Jesus sees this man who's been blind since birthânot part-time blind, not "I forgot my glasses" blindâthis man has been living in darkness since day one. And Jesus, being Jesus, doesnât just say âyouâre healed.â No. He straight-up spits in the dirt like Heâs about to fight somebody, makes some divine eye mud, smears it all over the guyâs face like heâs frosting a cake, and says, âGo wash it off in the Pool of Siloam.âđĽ˛
â¤Now pause. Imagine youâre this blind guy. A stranger just caked your eyes with sidewalk paste made from Godâs saliva and said, đłâTrust me, just walk to that pool and rinse.â Honestly, that couldâve gone in a very different directionâbut my man does it. And guess what?
He. Comes. Back. Seeing.đ¤
âĄď¸Boom. Eyes working. Lights on. Whole new world, Aladdin moment.đ§
Now, here's why this moment matters:
Jesus just flexed His power over creationâHe made eyeballs function using dirt and spit. Try that at your local clinic, see how fast you get kicked out.đ
đThe blind man actually listened and acted on faith. No questions, no Yelp reviewâjust did it.
And the Pharisees? Ohhh, they lose their minds. Because apparently, miracles arenât allowed on the Sabbath. These guys really said, âHow dare you fix a man's eyesâON A SATURDAY?!â
So instead of celebrating this man's literal life transformation, they interrogate him, grill his parents, and then throw him out like yesterdayâs leftovers. All because they can't handle that Jesus is out here healing with organic eye mud on their holy day.đĽš
In the end, Jesus finds the guy again and is like, âHey, Iâm the Son of Man,â and the manâs like, âBetâI believe,â and worships Him.
â¨Moral of the story? Sometimes faith looks like trusting a man who just put dirt in your eyes. And sometimes the most religious people are the most spiritually blind.
