I Know
“One thing I know, that, whereas I was blind, now I see” (John 9:25).
The ninth chapter of John’s gospel is a lovely account of a man who was born blind but who was one day healed by the Lord Jesus. When questioned by the Jewish leaders as to what had happened, he made no attempt to try and explain it. He couldn’t have, even if he had wanted to. All he knew was that, up until that miraculous day, he had never seen anything. Then all of a sudden, he was cured. He saw the sunlight, people moving, the sky, the grass, flowers, colors, and so on. But even more wonderful, he saw the Son of God standing in front of him. A marvelous change had taken place which could not be denied. And although he could not explain it, it was indeed real … no question about it!
This story is an illustration of the change that takes place in a soul when the sinner turns to the Lord and there is a work of the Spirit to open our spiritual eyes to see beauty in Christ. We don’t need to understand, as the proof is in itself. It is something that we accept humbly and by faith. It is His work, as the Scripture says, “The Lord openeth the eyes of the blind” (Psalm 146:8). Has He opened your eyes?
