Seeing The Saviour

('A man there lived in Galilee')

John Chapter 9 parts

*******

John's Gospel Series (10)

 

A blind man healed with Jesus' word

He sight on Him conferred

Said, go wash in pool, Siloam

After anointing him

With clay thus put upon his eyes

He on the word relies

Goes to the pool, washed off the clay

And he did see that day

 

Later Jesus did the man find

Spoke to him gentle, kind

Do you believe upon the Son

Of God, life-giving One?

He did reply, Who is He, Lord

For I did hear His word

Who is He, that I might believe

On Him, and Him receive?

 

Jesus said, You have seen Him here

He does to you endear

And it is He that with you talks

With you in the way walks

And he said,  O Lord, O believe

For here be no deceive

And he worshipped the Lord there too

With praises not a few

 

Jesus said, For judgement I came

For some go on the same

Spiritually blind, do not see

Religiosity

Is all they follow, rule and rite

They in dark, have no sight

But I, light of the world, do give

True sight that all may live

  • Comment from author about the poem: A hymn-poem in 8686 8686 metre. I have not put speech marks in, as I have ad libbed a bit on some of what the people actually said, hopping not going off-track though, so they are not verbatim quotes.

    • dusk arising

      Those last two lines are a killer. Shame this omnipotent one cant stop hurting humanity with malformed babies and disease.

        I see what you mean dusk. Some of it is man's own making I feel. Some of it is a mystery. That may seem a cop-out, just to say 'don't know'. But that's all we can say in some cases.
