“Once I was Blind, but now I see!” John 9:8-34

It is His story! Our story is within His story.

Meet the blind man… “Isn’t this the man that used to…?”

Our Story People can see change They want to know about it

“Meet Jesus…” “He did this, and then I could see.”

Meet the Pharisees… “What have you to say about Him? It was your eyes He opened.”

Our Story People need your firsthand account People will check up on all aspects of your life to see if it matches

Meet the parents… They were afraid of being put out of the synagogue.

John 12:42-43 (NIV) Yet at the same time many even among the leaders believed in him. But because of the Pharisees they would not confess their faith for fear they would be put out of the synagogue; for they loved praise from men more than praise from God.

Our Story “One thing I do know, I was blind but now I see.” You don’t have to know everything

Our Story Not everyone will believe You may be insulted, threatened and abused

We are invited to participate in His story. To receive His salvation, His power, His healing To tell others about it as well

Acts 4:29-31 (NIV) Now, Lord, consider their threats and enable your servants to speak your word with great boldness. Stretch out your hand to heal and perform miraculous signs and wonders through the name of your holy servant Jesus.”

Acts 4:29-31 (NIV) After they prayed, the place where they were meeting was shaken. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and spoke the word of God boldly.

The same people who received the filling of the Spirit in Acts chp The same people who received the filling of the Spirit in Acts chp.2, needed it again to have boldness to share Christ

Let’s make this our prayer… Now, Lord, consider their threats and enable your servants to speak your word with great boldness. Stretch out your hand to heal and perform miraculous signs and wonders through the name of your holy servant Jesus.”
