- A Woman’s Sight Is Restored
- 1 A woman in Seoul, who was married to a civil servant named Oh, had been blind since youth.
- 2 Knowing her husband’s illness had been cured by Sahng-jeh-nim, she came with her husband to have her vision restored. They told Sahng-jeh-nim of her suffering and earnestly pleaded that He heal her.
- 3 Sahng-jeh-nim said, “You will see the brightness of the sun and moon.”
- 4 He took her to the door, stood facing her, and drew a circle on the ground with the handle of a parasol.
- 5 Then, He had her put some salt in her mouth. Next, in a sunny place in the yard, He boiled a packet of herbal medicine. After that, He dug a hole and poured the medicine into it.
- 6 Suddenly, light came into her eyes and everything looked clear. Overcome with joy, she yelled, “Is this real or is this a dream?”
- 7 As the news spread, people gathered, surrounding the house like a castle wall. They all said, “The Lord of Heaven has come, and there will be a new world.”
