Have a look at this video from Dr Frances Young. The thing that struck me most was when she talked about the story of the Man Born Blind in St John's Gospel. I'd often thought, as she did, that it was tremendously unfair for God to have made a man to be born blind and to live for years in that condition just so that Jesus could come along and cure him in a dramatic way. but, when she read out Jesus words, "Neither this man nor his parents sinned, but this happened so that the work of God might be displayed in his life." I suddenly thought that it wasn't Jesus' miraculous cure of the man that showed the work of God, but his life from birth up to that point and beyond. The workd of God was displayed in his parents' devotion to him (if they hadn't been, he would not have survived) and in his fortitude in bearing his disability in a time before the many aids to livingthat we have today, and, presumably in whatever he did with his life after his cure.
