“and said unto him, Go, wash in the pool of Siloam, (which is by interpretation, Sent.) He went his way therefore, and washed, and came seeing.”
John 9:7 KJV
John the beloved disciple records, “And He said to the blind man, “Now go and wash the clay from your eyes in the ritual pool of Siloam.” So he went and washed his face and as he came back, he could see for the first time in his life!” Siloam means “to be sent” or “to be commissioned” - and is the same meaning of “apostle”. The Apostle of our faith is the Lord Jesus Christ Who was sent from the Father. To wash in the Pool of Apostleship is to recognise the healing that flows from the One Who was sent from heaven. Jesus had just taught that He is the Light of the world and had came to dispel the darkness of mankind, so this miracle of giving sight to the blind man is a powerful proof of Jesus’s words. Christ, in His birth, became a man of clay. When He applies this clay over our eyes and we wash in the water of His Word, our spiritual sight is restored. Then we are sent to testify of God’s goodness in our lives. We who believe in the Lord Jesus Christ are all apostles commissioned by Him. Therefore, as partakers of the heavenly calling, let’s keep continuously considering the Apostle and High Priest of our confession, Christ Jesus. Amen!
