John 9:13- 41  The "formerly blind" man was brought to the Pharisees.  It was a Sabbath.. so the Pharisees immediately started their arguments:

how could a man of God not keep the Sabbath? 
He must be a sinner.. 
the man must not be telling the truth.. 
the parents must not know their own son.. 
Jesus cannot be good and do this?  

The young man may have been a blind beggar.. but he was not afraid of the arguments and threats of the Jewish leaders.  He continued to testify.. 

"He  applied clay to my eyes; and I washed, and I see." (v15)  

When asked who he was who had opened his eyes, he said, "He is a prophet." (v17)

When called in a second time, after the council had questioned his parents, the man said, "Whether He is a sinner, I do not know; one thing I do know, that, whereas I was blind, now I see." (v25)

Again he said.. "I told you already, and you did not listen; why do you want to hear it again? You do not want to become His disciples too, do you?" (v27)

And in response to their statements that they did not know where Jesus was from, he said, "Well, here is an amazing thing, that you do not know where He is from, and yet He opened my eyes. We know that God does not hear sinners; but if anyone is God-fearing, and does His will, He hears him. Since the beginning of time it has never been heard that anyone opened the eyes of a person born blind. If this man were not from God He could do nothing." ( v30-33)

To which they answered, "You were born entirely in sins, and are you teaching us?"   The once blind beggar.. who now could see.. was able to see the Truth whereas the "righteous" Pharisees.. remained blind in their sins... for they couldn't admit that they also were "born entirely in sins". 

After this, the Jews threw the man out of the synagogue .  But, Jesus met him and introduced Himself as "the Son of Man.". And, then this young man responded, " Lord, I believe." 

Be encouraged by this man's example.  He had everything going against him.. he was blind, he had to beg in order to live... his parents didn't seem to be much help.. even the disciples thought that his blindness was due to sin..  Yet, when he was pulled into the judgement hall of the Pharisees.. he answered wisely and boldly.  He understood the Truth about Jesus.. He knew the Father and He came to know the Son.. His testimony is simple but so powerful..  " I was blind.. now I see."

Father in heaven, when You work in our lives.. You take us out of darkness and into Light.  You take us out of sin and into righteousness through Jesus Christ the Lord.  You give us spiritual understanding and faith to believe and follow Jesus.  We came to You blind and we now can say .. "I see".  It is our testimony too!  Thank You!  How great is our God!  How wonderful  are Your works.  How bountiful is Your love for us.. that You gave us such a Savior as our Lord Jesus. May our lives and our testimonies be as powerful a witness of the Truth as this young man's was.  Fill us Spirit of God so that the Light of Jesus shines in each of us today. Amen.
