John 9:8-10

King James Version (KJV)



8 The neighbours therefore, and they which before had seen him that he was blind, said, Is not this he that sat and begged?

9 Some said, This is he: others said, He is like him: but he said, I am he.

10 Therefore said they unto him, How were thine eyes opened?

These are my thoughts, please share yours.

8 When Christ changes us people should wonder and ask what has happened to us or they should know by how we are. The world will also bring up our past and try to stop us from serving the Lord further. Our pasts when were in the world are not to bring us down it has been put under the blood but does give more of a testimony to share with others of how Christ made us see. People will question when we first come to Christ.

9 Some may be convinced of how the Lord works by how He worked and is working thru us. Some will already know because they serve the Lord already. We will know that we are His and changed by Him. We will start to see the world as He does and no longer be blinded by the darkness of the world be in the light.

10 So their will come a point we can and are able to share our testimony and have people listen to it. Would share the good news always but share our testimony as the Lord leads. We can not bottle up what Jesus has done for us though.
