Discussion Questions To Consider

  • Who do you relate to in this story? The blind man? The parents? The religious leaders?
  • How does the confusion and division caused by the healing of the man born blind relate to your own beliefs about Jesus?
  • What areas of life have you “already decided”?
  • What do you need to do in light of this?
