Someone once said that all theology(thinking about God) should be practical theology, meaning if it does not matter in life, what does it matter? God must impact our life daily, but sometimes Christians get so off trying to act and talk spiritually that we ignore the core of God’s love. Jesus comes walking along with His disciples and they decide to hold a “theological” conversation about a blind man sitting on the side of the road. First of all imagine if you were the blind guy hearing these guys discuss your sin. Sometimes we as Christians try to explain the issues of the world without engaging with the people of them. I heard Erwin McManus once describe the problem in this passage is that the disciples wanted to hold a theological discussion about this poor guys blindness when right next to them in the person of Jesus they have the cure. Yes we must think deeply about God, but let us not overlook God simply to think about Him. The blind man says it well to the religious leaders, I don’t know who he was, but I do know that I was blind but now I see. He did not shy away from what God had done in his life and later when he met Jesus he was ready to follow because his life had been infected with Christ’s love and power.
