Sign #6 - The Eye Doctor

We see miracles throughout the Bible, but giving sight to the blind is actually kind of rare. There is no such miracle in the Old Testament, and no one other than Jesus is attributed with giving sight to the blind in the New Testament. But giving sight to the blind is the miracle Jesus does the most. Including this one, there are 8 references to the blind being given sight in the Gospels. In the Old Testament the giving of sight to the blind is associated with God Himself, and it is also referred to as a messianic activity, or something that would point to the Messiah, a sign. So what we just read, in its simplest form, is a sign that Jesus is the promised Messiah.
