HE WAS BORN BLIND

JESUS HEALED HIM AND HE WALKED AROUND HEALED 

EVERYONE HAD QUESTIONS  

John 9:8 His neighbors and those who had formerly seen him begging asked, “Isn’t this the same man who used to sit and beg?” 

John 9:10 “How then were your eyes opened?” they asked. (NIV)

WHEN THE COMMUNITY COULDN’T FIGURE IT OUT, THEY WENT TO THE PHARISEES TO TRY AND FIGURE IT OUT 

John 9:15 Therefore the Pharisees also asked him how he had received his sight. “He put mud on my eyes,” the man replied, “and I washed, and now I see.” (NIV)

John 9:16 Some of the Pharisees said, “This man is not from God, for he does not keep the Sabbath.” But others asked, “How can a sinner perform such signs?” So they were divided. (NIV)

THE PHARISEES COULDN’T FIGURE IT OUT SO THEY WENT TO THE MAN’S PARENTS 

John 9:20 “We know he is our son,” the parents answered, “and we know he was born blind. (NIV)

John 9: 21 But how he can see now, or who opened his eyes, we don’t know. Ask him. He is of age; he will speak for himself.”

25 He replied, “Whether he is a sinner or not, I don’t know. One thing I do know. I was blind but now I see!” (NIV)

 “SHOW AND TELL”

 

1.  SHOW THEM WITH YOUR LIFE

 

Matthew 5:16 Jesus said, “In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven. (NIV)

 

1 Peter 2:12 Be careful to live properly among your unbelieving neighbors. Then even if they accuse you of doing wrong, they will see your honorable behavior, and they will give honor to God when he judges the world. (NLT)

 

2.  TELL THEM WITH YOUR STORY

Psalm 66:2 Tell the world how glorious he is. (NLT)  

John 9:25 He replied, “…. One thing I do know. I was blind but now I see!” (NIV)
