As we continue our study in the Gospel of John, we begin to look at the aftermath of the miracle that takes place in chapter 9–the healing of the man born blind. We once again see the hardness of hearts that unbelievers have towards the truth, and are reminded of what to expect when approaching the world with the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Yet despite the persecution we experience from unbelievers, we are reminded to cling to the living hope that we have in Jesus.
