Sinner or not

In John 9, Jesus heals a blind man which served to infuriate the Pharisees and religious leaders of the day. Jn 9:25, the healed man is speaking, 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.

Jesus is known throughout the world. He lived 2000 years ago and has world renown. Some call him savior, some teacher, some lunatic. What we call Jesus doesn't matter. What we think of him doesn't change who he is. Our human words can't label him, quantify him, or contain him.

The blind see. We can attempt to convince ourselves and the world that Jesus isn't who he claims to be, some devote their lives to it. The simple truth remains, the blind see, the lame walk, and the dead live. Jesus is God.

Jn 9:34 tells us that when presented not only with the facts, but also with the evidence, the Pharisees threw the former blind man out. Isolating ourselves from facts and evidence makes us blind. Who would choose blindness over sight? Sadly many do.

If you were once blind, but now can see, tell it, tell it to the world.
