From Blindness To Worship

John 9:25
He answered and said, Whether he be a sinner or no, I know not: one thing I know, that, whereas I was blind, now I see.  

John 9:38
And he said, Lord, I believe. And he worshipped him.

Thought:  
At the beginning of the story the man is a blind beggar. Everyone knows him only by his need. By the end of the story, he sees, believes, and worships Jesus as Lord. His physical healing was not the end. It led to something greater. It led to saving faith and true worship.  

This is the pattern for every sinner who is saved by grace. We start helpless and blind. We cannot see Christ rightly and we cannot fix our own hearts. Jesus, the light of the world, comes to us through His word. He opens our eyes. We begin to see who He is and what He has done on the cross and in His resurrection.  

There are still many things in life that we do not understand. We may not know why certain pains and losses have come. We may not be able to explain every detail of God’s plan. But like the healed man we can say one true thing. I was blind and now I see. That simple testimony is powerful. It gives glory to Christ, the One who cured us.  

The right response to this grace is worship. We bow our hearts before Jesus. We trust Him as the Son of God. We treasure Him more than our own comfort or reputation. We speak openly about what He has done for us, even when others question or reject us.  

The main question is not, Can you explain everything. The main question is, Have your eyes been opened by Jesus. And if they have, is your life now a life of worship.  

Prayer:  
Father, thank You that in Christ You have brought me out of darkness into Your marvelous light. I may not understand everything, but I know that once I was blind and now I see. Help me to live each day as a worshipper of Jesus. Give me courage to speak of what He has done in my life. Let my words and my actions show that He is Lord. I am only a beggar in the presence of a King, but I offer You all that I am. In Jesus name, Amen.
