Page 58 - Reasons for Sickness

So this man was blind from his birth.

He's a grown man. The disciples assumed

that either he sinned or his parents sinned,

but, no, it was so that the Son of God might

be manifest and made known so that

people would believe on Him. Now, we can

give some examples in our own lives, but

let's talk for a few moments about some

people in the Bible who were sick but they

were godly people. Coming back to Lazarus,

Lazarus' sickness was for the glory of God.

In verse 4 it says, "This sickness is not unto

death, but for the glory of God, that the Son

of God might be glorified thereby.” Verses

40 through 45 tell us that many of the Jews

believed on Jesus when they saw the things

that He did.
