The Grands Letter (GLJ)
Gene L. Jeffries, Th.D. on August 2, 2016 6:48 am (CST)Dear Grands,
John 9:24-25, “So a second time they called the man who had been blind, and said to him, ‘Give glory to God; we know that this man is a sinner.’ 25 He then answered, ‘Whether He is a sinner, I do not know; one thing I do know, that though I was blind, now I see.’”
I’ve always loved this passage. It actually covers all of chapter nine.
The blind man in this encounter was no dummy. He had courage, and
spoke boldly to the Pharisees. What struck me as I re-read it today was
that the man said, speaking of Jesus, “’Whether He is a sinner, I do not know…’”
It is not necessary for someone to know everything about Jesus in order to
be saved. At the same time, it is not necessary for us to share everything
we know about Him in order for them to be saved. But, it is necessary that
we share as much as they need to know. The Holy Spirit will direct us.
We love you!
