Sometimes when we read the Bible we're so busy looking for a sermon, Bible study, practical application or doctrinal insight we forget that the Bible records events that really happened. Many times I've read John 9 and focused on the doctrinal significance of Verses 2-3 or the strangeness of Verse 6, but half-missing the realness of the account.
That's why I love Biblical archaeology. It reminds me of the historicity of God's Word. Archaeologists have discovered the remains of the Pool of Siloam where Jesus sent the man born blind to wash before he 'went home seeing'. I'm thankful for archaeologists that bring me back to the reality of God's Word.
