1. He put mud on my eyes; now I see (13-15)

The Pharisees were upset because Jesus had healed a man's eyes on the Sabbath. They questioned the man about this, and he testified simply, telling the facts. When they heard that Jesus had made mud and put it on the man's eyes, they were even more upset--Jesus had worked on the Sabbath! There were a few people who realized that God was working in this event, but it was not politically expedient to say this.

2. He is a prophet (16-23)

The former blind man had told them the objective facts. Now they asked him for a subjective opinion. He could have avoided making a commitment, as his parents did later, but he was a man of truth. He didn't calculate about his personal advantage or disadvantage. He believed that the man who had healed him was a man of God, and he said so. This small decision set a direction that changed his life.

Application: Lord, help me to testify to your grace in my life without fear or shame.
One Word: Be a truthful witness
