Their ignorance of his origin and his healing of me

Their agreement about his origin and the delay before the healing

His family background and the crowd's celebration

Their certainty about his origin and the lack of any change

They already know exactly where he is from.

Try to impress people with religious words

Focus on defending yourself instead of Jesus

If you would like to receive Jesus, pray this with me: Lord Jesus, I admit that I have sinned and I need you to open my eyes. I turn from my sin and from trusting myself. I believe you died for my sins and rose again. I confess you as Lord, and I ask you to bring me into your truth and give me sight. Amen.

Open My Eyes, Lord Jesus

Lord, revive your Church to speak with humble confidence about Jesus when the world questions him. Give us wonder at what you have done, courage to testify plainly, and eyes to recognize your Son even when others doubt. Make us a people who point to his work, in the name of Jesus. Amen.

Revive Our Witness

Father, thank you for the gift of sight, both physical and spiritual. Thank you that Jesus can open eyes even when others do not understand him. Teach me to answer with gratitude and not fear, in the name of Jesus. Amen.

Thank You for Opening Eyes

Pray by naming one clear thing Jesus has done for you, then ask God for the courage to say it simply when questions come.

Pray with Simple Honesty

Pray for friends or family who question Jesus because they do not yet know him well. Ask God to let them see his work, listen with open hearts, and become ready for a clear testimony.

For Those Who Question

Bring these to God: a humble spirit that does not need to win every argument, a heart that notices Jesus' work, and courage to speak with clarity when he has opened your eyes.

Humble Confidence
