You can’t argue with someone who was blind and now they can see.  What can you say to them?  “You’re not really seeing” or “Maybe you only thought you couldn’t see.”  Those don’t really stack up against a person who is currently describing things in detail that they currently view but were unable to see before.

That was the case with a man in the Bible who was healed by Jesus and confronted by religious people (John 9).   This religious group was more interested in whether or not Jesus believed the way they believed than they were about the miracle that had happened.  However, when they tried to get this young man to enter an argument about religion, all he came back with was, “I don’t know whether he’s (Jesus) is good or bad, all I know is once I was blind, but now I can see.”

Some of us are afraid to share our faith because of concern that it will lead to an argument over Scripture and perhaps our own embarrassment.

While it may be possible to argue doctrine, how do you argue with experience?  A witness simply shares what they’ve seen or heard.  They are not appointed to bring judgment, instead they only report what they experienced.

To be a witness for Jesus, all you need to be able to do is report what you’ve seen, heard or experienced.  It’s hard to argue doctrine with someone who stands in front of you declaring, “once I was blind, but now I can see.”

How could you share your experience with Jesus with someone else?   What positive changes has He made in your life that you could share with others?
