The Grands Letter

Dear Grands,

John 9:25, “He answered and said, ‘Whether he be a sinner or no,

I know not: one thing I know, that, whereas I was blind, now I see.’”

Jesus had healed a man who had been born blind. The Pharisees

were in a rage because it had been done on the Sabbath. They

interrogated the man again and again; and discovering that it was

Jesus who healed him, told him that Jesus was a sinner. His reply

was classic! I don’t know about that, he said, I only know that I

was blind and now I can see.

Knowledge is a wonderful thing; but we don’t have to know

everything –only one thing is truly important, and that is knowing

that we belong to Jesus! Sometimes we allow “knowledge” to get

into the way of Truth. I remember a pastor of mine saying, “Knowledge

without Christ makes smart devils.” That was the Pharisees’ problem.

They knew about the Law of Moses, but the one thing that was key to

everything else, they ignored –Jesus! ~ I would never discourage you

from learning. It is a vital acquisition in life. But knowing Jesus is far,

far more important. The man born blind became a disciple (learner)

of Jesus, and he witnessed to the Pharisees long before he knew all

that he was to learn from Him. Witnessing does not demand that we

know everything –just that one thing: my life has changed since I met

Jesus! People will hear what you say because they will see the change

in your life. That’s what it’s all about!

We pray that you will always see Jesus in us,
