More Than Just a Story - the Book of John

DAY 25 OF 56

In this story, Jesus heals a blind man. Can you imagine seeing your loved ones for the first time? Seeing a tree or a bird or a sunset for the first time? Seeing your own reflection? You’d probably want to shout it from the rooftops and tell everyone!

But when the man does exactly that, no one believes him. The Pharisees demand answers: Who restored his sight? Where is this man? How did it happen? The man points to simple truths the religious leaders of the day should have recognized—proof that Jesus is the one who healed him. Yet, they refuse to believe the miracle because it happened on the Sabbath. As a result, he is thrown out of the synagogue. Did something as amazing as restoring a mans sight but did it on the wrong day? Sometimes we just miss it don't we? We get so caught up in a singular detail or way we think it should be done that we miss the point.

Jesus knew what was happening in that moment, yet He left the man alone. But God had a purpose in not intervening. The man continues to boldly share his faith in Jesus. He testified about Jesus, and his story was put on display for the world to see.

Has there been a time when you felt like your faith was tested or questioned?
How did people react when you told them God had performed a miracle in your life?
Did the story of your miracle bring them closer to God?
