Question of the Day: How can we see Jesus’ work in our life?
Read about It
Read: John 9:35–41
The man born blind was once again face-to-face with Jesus. Before this, he had already given a powerful witness of the Jesus he knew to the Pharisees. It seems as though God had given him spiritual eyes to recognize who Jesus was and the impact of what He had done. The man had faith in Jesus as his Healer, and that gave him the boldness to stand up for Jesus.
Faith can give us spiritual eyes to see Jesus as well. When we trust what God has done for us, we can boldly proclaim it wherever we go. Even though we haven’t been able to be face-to-face with Jesus like the man, we can see His work in our life. Through faith, we tell others about His mercy so they can see Jesus too. By trusting Jesus like the man born blind, we can also see His work and great plan unfolding in our life and lead others to Him.

Dear Jesus, I believe in You. Even though I haven’t seen You with my own eyes, I have seen all You have done in me through faith.
