THIS ONE THING. DAY 6

 

January 7, 2025

John 9:25 

He replied, “Whether he is a sinner or not, I don’t know.
One thing I do know. I was blind but now I see!”

The context of today's verse is that Jesus had miraculously healed a man who was blind from birth. The Problem was, at least from the religious leader’s perspective, Jesus did it on the Sabbath. This incensed them. So, they set out to discredit Jesus because of it, including harassing the man who had been healed.

In the account we read that the religious leaders repeatedly bombarded the now-seeing man with a number of accusatory questions, (read John 9 for the details). The man is finally exasperatedly by all the leading questions and finger pointing, declared the one thing he could say for sure, he was blind, and Jesus healed him! He couldn’t explain the theology of it. He had no idea how it played into who Jesus was. He couldn’t back up the act with Scripture, but he could declare what Jesus had done for him. And not one person could or did dispute that.

What’s the one thing that Jesus has done in your life that no one can dispute? 

We may not be able to perfectly quote Bible verses or explain every aspect in theological terms, but we can share with others how Jesus has transformed us. That’s what it means to give testimony to His goodness and faithfulness. That’s how we share the good news of Jesus Christ.

But in your hearts revere Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have.
