The man who identified himself as formerly blind testified about what Jesus had done to him to the Pharisees. He believed that the one who had opened his eyes was a man of God. When the Pharisees pressured him to glorify God by testifying that Jesus was a sinner, he remembered God’s grace in his life and said, “One thing I do know. I was blind but now I see.” Remembering the Lord’s grace and work in our life enables us to overcome temptations, to stand firmly, and to testify the truth. It is the way to give glory to God.

The Pharisees kept asking him what Jesus had done to him. He was perplexed at their unbelief. He challenged them with the obvious truth that God listens to the godly person, not sinners. In anger, they threw him out. Jesus visited him and helped him to believe in Jesus who could give him eternal life and the kingdom of God. Then the man found the one worthy of his worship and responded in worship to him.

The Pharisees were blind due to their hardness of heart. As a result, they rejected the light Jesus, and could not taste the grace of God. Those who reject Jesus cannot taste his amazing grace.
Application: Lord, help me to receive your grace and testify that you are the Christ, the Son of God.
One Word: Jesus is the Son of God
