Matthew 9:31

There are some names in the Bible that everyone knows: Adam and Eve, Noah, Moses, Mary, Peter, Paul. But the Bible is also full of stories with unnamed characters. People who made a difference not in the spotlight, but in the shadows. We often think they and we are insignificant if the spotlight is not on. But here's the good news: God chooses and uses shadow Christians.

Author Justin Davis asks, “How can we experience a transformative relationship with God?” The answer certainly doesn’t come from pretending to be perfect. Instead, it lies in living as authentic followers of Jesus. Being real over perfect may cost us more than we think we can pay, but it will bring us more than we thought we could have.

Yet as the Pharisees interrogated the man, they showed what hearts look like when they are still blinded by proud unbelief. The ministry of Jesus is to transform hearts, turning them to God, as He did for the man born blind.
