Question of the Day: What can Jesus healing our brokenness lead to?
Read about It
Read: John 9:24–34
The man declared, “I was blind, and now I can see!” His healing was the reason for his rejoicing and powerful testimony. Jesus specializes in fixing broken lives. The man confirmed his condition of blindness to the Pharisees. Now that Jesus had healed him, he could celebrate. He was blind, but now he could see. That was still his story, even the second time the Pharisees questioned him.
We can have a similar testimony to the world as Jesus brings healing to our life. When things get hurt in our life, it’s an opportunity for Jesus to heal and for us to tell others about it. We know that when we ask for Jesus’ mercy, He always hears us and knows what is best. Jesus’ healing of our brokenness can lead others to Him as people see our fixed life and heart. His work in us is our testimony of what Jesus can do.
