The Pharisees asked the man all about it. So he told them, "He put the mud over my eyes, and when I washed it away, I could see!"

Some of the Pharisees said, "This man Jesus is not from God, for he is working on the Sabbath."

Others said, 

"But how could an ordinary sinner do such miraculous signs?"

So there was a deep division of opinion among them.

John 9:15-16 NLT

There's power in the simplest of testimonies.

This man born blind who could now see simply said what happened to him.

He simply said what Jesus did. 

Not everyone got it, and that's OK. Simply saying what Jesus has done in our lives is enough.

When we hear what Jesus has done in someone's life it gives hope. 

Hope that these things we are facing, wrestling with, weighing us down, are not permanent. 

This person's simple testimony says that hope is real.

That change is possible.

The Pharisees knew Jesus was no ordinary person, but many of them, despite the evidence, didn't seem to want to believe in him.

Jesus is no ordinary person.

Jesus met this man and gave light where there was only darkness. 

That gives me hope when things seem dark, that the light of Love, Grace, Forgiveness, Healing is here. 

He is with us.

The one who loved without measure, is with us. 

Lean into him today.
