In John 9, Jesus heals a man blind from birth. This is shocking. Evenmore: This miraculous healing is a microcosm of the whole Christiangospel. In merely seven verses of text, the contemplative Bible readercan see the fruit of the Holy Spirit’s work, putting the infinite Wordof God into a mere handful of human words. In Christ the Lightgiver,Clifton Stringer explores the story of the gospel from creation to thefall, then from the incarnation to the mystery of Jesus'' (and our)Passover to eternal life.
