1 As he went along, he saw a man blind from birth. 2 His disciples asked him, “Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?”3 “Neither this man nor his parents sinned,” said Jesus, “but this happened so that the works of God might be displayed in him. 4 As long as it is day, we must do the works of him who sent me. Night is coming, when no one can work. 5 While I am in the world, I am the light of the world.”
6 After saying this, he spit on the ground, made some mud with the saliva, and put it on the man’s eyes. 7 “Go,” he told him, “wash in the Pool of Siloam” (this word means “Sent”). So the man went and washed, and came home seeing.
8 His neighbors and those who had formerly seen him begging asked, “Isn’t this the same man who used to sit and beg?” 9 Some claimed that he was.Others said, “No, he only looks like him.”But he himself insisted, “I am the man.”10 “How then were your eyes opened?” they asked.11 He replied, “The man they call Jesus made some mud and put it on my eyes. He told me to go to Siloam and wash. So I went and washed, and then I could see.”12 “Where is this man?” they asked him.“I don’t know,” he said.

Too often I feel that our problems become about us. I, for one, am quick to forget that life is not about me, but I am a part of God's much bigger and larger story. I'm not living for me and my needs, but to glorify God. So when bad circumstances occur, I can stay steadfast to God because my happiness or purpose does not rely on whether I am getting what I want. Instead, I can trust God will use it for His glory and stay true to who He has shown Himself to be time and time again in Scripture.

Sin and sickness are both taken care of by Jesus. I am not sure it mattered who's sin caused what to happen. The point is that Jesus heals and forgives.
