The story summary and questions were written in a way that makes it possible to use a New Testament reference in place of the Urantia reference. A selected chapter from a 1932 book, titled Treasure-House of the Living Religions, supports a spiritual theme that is found within the story. Children will use a one page handout that includes a coloring picture.

Three amazing things happened to a Jerusalem man who had been born blind. First, Jesus healed him of his blindness on a Sabbath day. Then, he was ordered to appear before the Pharisees who questioned him and cast him out of the synagogue. Afterward, Jesus found the man and asked him if he believed in the Son of God. When the healed man realized that he was speaking to Jesus he declared, “‘Lord, I believe,” and he fell down and worshiped.

At the end of this eventful day, why did Jesus go in search of the healed man? We can see that the man’s faith had grown to the point where he could sincerely say, “Lord, I believe.” What might have caused his faith to grow that day?
