John 9:1-11, 35-38
As Jesus was traveling with his disciples, they came upon a man
who was born blind. His disciples thought that sin was the
cause of his blindness. Jesus told his disciples that this
happened so that the work of God might be displayed in his life.
Then Jesus spit on the ground and made mud with the saliva
and put the mud on the man’s eyes. Jesus told the man to wash in the
Pool of Siloam. When the man came home he could see!
The man told his neighbors what had happened. The neighbors
brought the man to the Pharisees. The Pharisees had a hard time
believing that Jesus had healed the man. They even asked the man’s
parents if he was born blind.
Jesus used this story to teach the people that when you don’t
see the things of God, it is like you are blind. Jesus, however, can heal
your spiritual blindness.

I use my skin to touch soft things.
I use my ears to hear bells ring.
My nose is what helps me smell
My eyes help me see so well.
My mouth is what helps me taste.
My five senses are so great.
Senses, senses here and there.
