John 9.1-41 is the story of the healing by Jesus of the man born blind. As is true of John's stories, it's not just the content that's important, it's how John tells the story. In this case, the healing leads to an investigation and the investigation leads to a moment of choice -- to see God at work or not to see God at work. This story, set in the context of the conflict within the Christian Jewish and non-Christian Jewish communities of the first century encourages us to ask how we conduct ourselves in the conflicts that arise within our communities andwhat traditions might blind us to God's saving activity.
