6. God shows His glory to us
When the disciples saw this man they asked Jesus, "Rabbi, who sinned that made this man blind?" Jesus replied by saying, "His blindness is so that the works of God might be displayed in Him." In the years of this man's blindness, God was preparing Him for the miracle of receiving His sight. God was readying this man to proclaim God's glory and immense power, both while he was blind, and after Jesus healed him (which, by the way, was accomplished when Jesus rubbed dirt that He has spat on upon the man's eyes. HOW CRAZY-COOL IS THAT?!). This story hits home for me in particular, because my father is blind. He's told me before that he knows God saved his life by allowing him to go blind (He used to live a thrill-seekers lifestyle). For him, still being alive today, blind or not, is a testament to God's awesome power in preparing him to proclaim His Savior's glory. He's an inspiration to many, blind and sighted, that impairments are not meant to permanently keep you from reaching your goals and dreams. God has given him the gift of being blind to be able to proclaim the glory of God in a way that very few get the opportunity to do.
