Who would have thought that this unnamed beggar would get the good news? (John 9:18-41) But Jesus made a point of seeking him out. It was after the poor guy had been kicked out of the Jewish church. But instead of having to figure out where to go, Jesus came to him.
And then this former dirty beggar got the chance of a lifetime. He probably thought he already had it made as Jesus had transformed him from a blind beggar into a courageous sight-filled witness.

But now is when Jesus popped the question: “Do you believe in the Son of Man?” After Jesus revealed that the recent healing and the current truth were both from Him - the Son of Man, the unnamed but unquestionably grateful man exclaimed, "Lord, I believe."
Then this pure, heartfelt statement of faith had its inevitable result: "And he worshiped Him." How wonderful! For a change God receives grateful childlike worship instead of the vain empty tradition of the religious leaders.
Lord, may our experience and testimony result in this same beautiful, true worship.
"...and the time is now here when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father is seeking such people to worship Him." John 4:23
