They called the man back a second time—the man who had been blind—and told him, “Give credit to God. We know this man is an impostor.” He replied, “I know nothing about that one way or the other. But I know one thing for sure: I was blind . . . I now see.” —John 9:24, 25 (MSG)

When we read John 9:1-25, we see a man who received a change in his life that could only come through contact with Jesus. The man had a physical problem, which led to a series of other problems.

The man was congenitally blind. Because he was different from others, people made assumptions about his character and the character of his family. Jesus’ disciples asked, “Rabbi, who sinned? Was this man born blind because he sinned? Or did his parents sin?”

All of us are challenged by something—grief, disappointment, failure. Our handicaps lead people to make assumptions about us, our character and our capability. But our handicaps make no difference to Jesus. Whatever our problem, there’s hope for our situation when we come into contact with Him.

When Jesus encountered this man, Jesus looked at him differently. This man needed more than sympathy; he needed a change in his life. So Jesus didn’t concern Himself about who’s fault it was that this man was in his condition. He got right to the point. He spat on the ground and made some clay, and then He put it on the man’s eyes, and He told him, “Go and wash in the pool of Siloam.” And when he washed, he became a brand new man. The darkness left his life and the Light came breaking through.

But note this: Not everyone will be happy when positive change takes place in our lives. There will always be those who are dissatisfied. After this man received his sight, there were some who tried to make this man say something bad about Jesus. But the formerly blind man had this testimony: “I don’t know what your problem is, but one thing I know: When I got up this morning, I was blind. But this Man touched me; He made a difference in the way I walk; He made a difference in the way I talk. And I’m so glad that Jesus came my way.”

Prayer: Lord, thank You for the resurrected Savior, who has made it possible for us to overcome our challenges and enjoy the highest quality of life. Regardless of people’s perceptions, we bring our needs to You in faith. Make the change in our lives that we need. In the name of Your Son, we pray. AMEN
