Jesus came into the world to make the Father known.  He also came to bring sight to the blind.  In this text an incident in Jesus’ ministry reveals who He is, the Light that illuminates both our sin and the path to eternal life.  Blindness was found in both the man who could not see and the Pharisees who would not see.  The man healed of physical blindness received a greater insight by his subsequent faith in Jesus.  The Pharisees who were themselves sighted remained spiritually blind.   Each of us fits into one category or the other.
