<p>9:7 <i>And said to him: Go, wash in the pool of Siloam (which means Sent). He went away therefore and washed, and went home seeing</i>- In John&rsquo;s Gospel, the Lord Jesus is the one &ldquo;sent&rdquo; from God- He has just stated this in 9:4. The Siloam pool therefore represented washing / baptism in Him, becoming the 'sent one' just as He was. The cure was not immediate; it required washing. This speaks of how baptism was to be the requirement for the giving of the Spirit, the new psychology, the new vision, the new worldview.</p>
