The three chapters chosen for today are also very interesting.
In John 9 Jesus opened the eyes of a man blind from birth, Since this was done on a Sabbath more trouble arose from the Pharisees. In the arguments that followed the Pharisees tried their best to cancel him and his parents, but the people believed the truth revealed, and Jesus again affirmed his divinity.
In Genesis 23 Abraham’s wife Sarah died and Abraham purchased a grave in Mamre, where he buried her.
Life goes on, and Genesis 24 records the beautiful story of Isaac and Rebekah.
The connection with the Old and New testament is again water. The blind man was told to wash in the pool of Siloam. The man obeyed and the sign was completed. In Genesis the sign to look for was if the damsel would draw water for the camels too. (they are thirty when they haven,t had any water for days).
