John 9

This chapter is all about Jesus healing the man blind from birth and the dissension that it created with the leaders of that day.  The part that stands out to me is Jesus' statement, and I was reminded about Jesus speaking in Matthew 5.

 3 Jesus answered, Neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents: but that the works of God should be made manifest in him.

4 I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work.

5 As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.

6 When he had thus spoken, he spat on the ground, and made clay of the spittle, and he anointed the eyes of the blind man with the clay,

7 And said unto him, Go, wash in the pool of Siloam, (which is by interpretation, Sent.) He went his way therefore, and washed, and came seeing.

KJV

 14 Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.

15 Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house.

16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.

KJV

From Jesus' own statements, just as he was the light of the world, we are the light of the world, and the works he did, we should do.  Let's be men of the word and a light to the world we live in, so the people that are part of our world may see our good works and glorify our heavenly father.

To do this we must humble ourselves, and follow the teachings in the Bible, and of our capable leadership, and we will see miracles in our lives.
