INTRODUCTION
The fact that a batter can hit a ninety-five mile an hour fastball is unexplainable. If you break down the amount of time that it should take him to locate the pitch, decide whether or not to swing, and move the bat into position, he simply shouldn't have enough time before the ball crosses the plate. But we've all seen it happen. So what do you do with a feat like this? And more importantly, what do you do with Christianity when it seems to be both unexplainable and undeniable at the same time?
DISCUSSION QUESTIONS
- What are some things in life that you can't explain but yet you can't deny (i.e. how a cell phone works, how a 747 flies, etc.)?
- Why is it we believe in some things without understanding everything about them, but with other things we feel like we need a complete explanation?
- Read John 9:1-5. How did Jesus come to explain God?
- Read John 9:6-17. Why were the Pharisees so blind to an undeniable miracle?
- Read John 9:18-34. The Pharisees had put God in a box and couldn't imagine him operating outside of it. When have you put God in a box?
- Read John 9:35-41. What is the difference between those who see and those who are blind?
