Point 1: Stop focusing in on the problem vs. 2 And his disciples asked him, Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind  

Point 2: Start focusing in on the solution vs. 11 He answered, “The man called Jesus made clay and anointed my eyes and said to me, “Go to Siloam and wash’; so I went and washed and received my sight.”

Point 3: It’s a set up for God’s glory vs. 3 Jesus answered, “It was not that this man sinned, or his parents, but that the works of God might be made manifest in him.

vs. 39 – 40 Jesus said, “For judgement I came into this world, that those who do not see may see, and that those who see may become blind.” (40) Some of the Pharisees near him heard this, and they said to him, “Are we also blind?”
