Then the Pharisees again questioned the man who had been blind and demanded, “What’s your opinion about this man (Jesus) who healed you?” The man replied, “I think he must be a prophet.”
John 9:17
Question
How has my understanding of who Jesus is grown through what He has done in my life?
Context
In John 9, Jesus healed a man who had been blind from birth. The religious leaders were unsettled by this miracle, especially since it happened on the Sabbath. They questioned the man repeatedly, demanding an explanation. At first, all the man knew was simple: “I was blind, but now I see.” When pressed further, he declared, “He is a prophet.” This growing confession shows how his understanding of Jesus deepened through experience.
Application
This man’s testimony started small, but it was powerful. He didn’t have all the theological answers, but he had a story. Sometimes, we hesitate to share our faith because we feel unqualified or don’t have all the right words. But like the healed man, our testimony is enough as it points people to the reality of Jesus’ power in our lives. Over time, our understanding of Christ deepens, just as this man eventually came to confess Jesus as Lord.
Truth For The Day
What Jesus has done in my life is a powerful testimony of who He is.
Pray
Lord, thank You for opening my eyes to see You more clearly each day. Help me to boldly share what You have done in my life, even if my words are simple. May my testimony always point others to Your power and truth. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
