John 9:6-8
5 As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.” 6 When He had said these things, He spat on the ground and made clay with the saliva; and He anointed the eyes of the blind man with the clay. 7 And He said to him, “Go, wash in the pool of Siloam” (which is translated, Sent). So he went and washed, and came back seeing. 8 Therefore the neighbors and those who previously had seen that he was blind said, “Is not this he who sat and begged?”
Light gives sight; so Jesus made a man's eyes well to see Him and understand who healed him. The one who made Adam from the ground and breathed life into him now used that same ground to make him anew. So Jesus makes us new in the whole, new creatures via a second birth as it were, out of more than just dust and breath. We are reborn in Him to be able to see the height and depth and breadth and unending length of God's love to us in His Son's sacrifice for our hope and His glory.
