John chapter 9 is the record of Jesus healing a man born blind. When the religious leaders saw that the man was healed on the Sabbath Day, they launched a big investigation, found it to be true, and ex-communicated the blind man from the Temple. “Jesus heard that they had thrown him out, and when he found him, he said, ‘Do you believe in the Son of Man?’ ‘Who is he, sir?’ the man asked. ‘Tell me, so that I may believe in him.’ Jesus said, ‘You have now seen him; in fact, he is the one speaking with you.’ Then the man said, ‘Lord, I believe,’ and he worshiped him” (John 9:35-38).

Notice that Jesus “found Him“. Jesus wasn’t involved in the legal proceedings. But He heard about them and the sad results. Although he ignored the leaders who had taken this action, He went looking for the rejected. The formerly blind man was blind when Jesus healed him, so he really didn’t know who it was that did this for him. This was his first introduction to Jesus. And the man who could now see immediately began to worship.

Sometimes when Jesus opens our blind eyes, we can’t see His hand who did it. Its only after the fact that we see God’s involvement. But Jesus is always looking for us. Our pain and failure never blind Jesus.
