I am enjoying the “one thing” verses I am find in Scripture. John 9 contains the story of Jesus and the blind man. There are many characters in this story. In addition to Jesus and the unnamed blind man, there are the disciples asking questions, the rulers throwing accusations and the man’s fearful parents trying to dodge being involved in any of it. (Read John 9 today.)
love the formerly blind man’s testimony when confronted by the rulers who were furious because Jesus healed on the Sabbath. After all the accusations and responses, however, it was the personal testimony of this man that truly settled every argument. “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!’” [vs 25 NIV]
One thing I do know … I was blind but now I see! John Newton wrote, “Amazing grace, how sweet the sound that saved a wretch like me. I once was lost, but now am found, was blind, but now I see.”
The one thing in each of our lives that cannot be refuted is the healing that Christ brought to us. We who were lost and blind, now are saved and seeing. We are not what we once were. Each of us has a personal testimony. Christ met us one day along the way and nothing has been the same since. Glory to God.
Father, thank you for that divine meeting with the Savior. Thank you that I, who was blinded by the god of this age, now see the beauty and glory in the light of Christ Jesus my Lord. That You would save a wretch like me is almost beyond my ability to comprehend. I bow to Your amazing grace. Amen
