Wow, look at the transformation of our blind man! At the beginning of Chapter 9, he started out as a disinterested "object lesson" on who sinned. But in today's reading (John 9:18-47), he becomes a courageous seeker, teasing the Jewish leaders (verse 27 and 30), getting put out of the synagogue (what his parents feared), and finally saying to Jesus, "Lord I believe".
What a difference being healed can make! It is noteworthy that after the now bright-eyed with sight man confessed to Jesus that he believed in the Son of Man, "he worshiped Him". We can hope that he kept doing that and telling his good news for the rest of his life. Oh, that we would all have our friend's kind of sight. If only we can just have the same testimony, "One thing I do know. I was blind but now I see!" God has surely opened our self obscured eyes to see His love and light. Praise His Name.
