Born Blind

He answered, “Whether or not he's a sinner, I don't know. One thing I do know: I was blind, and now I can see! ”  John 9:25 CSB

The Pharisees were convinced they knew who Jesus was not. The disciples of Jesus were convinced they knew him. One man refused to make a judgment without knowledge, but bore witness of what he did know. Okay, a bit of explanation for all that. The Pharisees had convinced themselves that Jesus was not the promised Messiah. Plus they tried to get the formerly blind man to confess that Jesus was a sinner since they just knew that he was. The man who received his sight from Jesus would only testify of what he knew: that he was blind all his life until Jesus came to him. 

Born as lost sheep in a savage world, we also have no way to find ourselves, but we can bear witness when the Good Shepherd finds us. We were spiritually blind, but now we see, and our new sight came by way of the Christ, the Son of God.
