Picture of Salvation By Chris McCann John 9:1 And as Jesus passed by, he saw a man which was blind from his birth. And his disciples asked him, saying, Master, who did sin, this man, or his parents, that he was born blind? Jesus answered, Neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents: but that the works of God should be made manifest in him. Jesus heals this man and gives him sight. Giving sight to the blind is a picture of salvation. Therefore salvation is what is in view by the reference to, "the works of God should be made manifest in him." The works of God in this man's case would be to receive his physical eyesight-pointing to what happens when God does the work of saving a sinner.
