The best testimony is often the simplest: I was blind, and now I see.
“He answered and said, Whether he be a sinner or no, I know not: one thing I know, that, whereas I was blind, now I see.”John 9:25 (KJV)
What does “Now I see” mean in John 9:25?
A man who was born blind says this after Jesus heals him. He does not claim to know all the theology, only what has happened to him.
Going deeper
The man's neighbors and the religious leaders argued about who Jesus was and whether He could have done this. They questioned him again and again. His answer is refreshing in its honesty: whether he be a sinner or no, I know not. One thing I know, that, whereas I was blind, now I see. He could not answer every question, but he could describe what changed. That is the heart of a real testimony.
Many of us feel we cannot share our faith because we do not know enough. This man shows that we do not need to. We only need to tell what Jesus has done for us. Think about one way your life is different because of Him. Write it in a sentence or two. This week, look for a moment to share it with someone, without pressure. Simple and honest words are often the most convincing. Your story does not have to be dramatic to be true.
Reflect
How is your life different because of Jesus, and who could you tell this week?
Pray
Lord, thank You for opening my eyes. Give me simple, honest words to tell what You have done for me. In Jesus' name, amen.
