The neighbors question, was it he that sat begging being blind, some said it is he, others did not know it is was he that was blind. The pharisees opposed this man and questioned that he was healed. Therefore was there a division among them. Yet even as Jesus became aware of this division, he found the blind man and asked him if he knew who he was and who had healed him. Now did the blind man realize that Jesus is truly the Son of God, he now is encouraged in faith and he calls Jesus Lord, this time as the Son of God and worshiped Jesus.
Jesus heals a man born blind. Others say- did he sin- Jesus said no, but that the works of God should be made known.

Yet he tells them that he alone is the redemption of his people.

John would soon go to prison and Jesus would be the focal point all the way to the cross where he would die for yous sin and mine, that he may fulfill the Fathers will.
Job's complaint to Eliphaz. We sometimes need to go through trials that we may be better for it. His grief and his calamity he says are heavier than the sands of the sea.

Job 6-1 But Job answered and said, Job 6-2 Oh that my grief were throughly weighed, and my calamity laid in the balances together-
