JOHN 9:1–11, 25
Noah Purifoy, an assemblage artist, used three tonnes of rubble from the 1965 riots in Los Angeles to create sculptures. He and a colleague used broken bicycle wheels, bowling balls, tyres, and TV sets to convey a message about modern society’s treatment of people as “throw-aways.” He saw value in the discarded. A journalist called Mr. Purifoy “the junkyard genius.”
During Jesus’ time, people often shunned those with physical problems as sinners. However, Jesus and His disciples encountered a blind man who was able to see the power of God. Following Jesus’s instructions, he was able to see.
When questioned by religious authorities, he revealed that he was blind but now sees.
Jesus is the ultimate “junkyard genius,” transforming broken lives into His new creations after being damaged by sin.
🙏 Thank you, Jesus, our restorer of life.
