John 9:38. “And he said, “Lord, I believe, And he worshipped him.” “I must work the works of Him that sent Me, while it is day…” THE PERSONAL “I!” The Father has sent Me, there’s much to be done, here’s a special work for Me. The day is here now, I came for this hour, this blind man cannot see.
“I am in the world…” For the needy have I come, for all and for some who need things men cannot do. My work and purpose must be done, God’s power and grace to show.
“I am the light of the world.” The darkness is ending, it is fading fast, soon it is going away. The man who never saw, hears the word from God now, and sees the light of the day.
“I am he.” This is not another man, this is really the one, that begged there day after day. Truly he was born blind, in the past here you’d find him, but now the same man can see.
“I went and washed…” He did what he was told; this one from of old, by the One who made the clay. He told him to wash, and so he washed at the pool, the darkness has gone away.
“I received sight.” He had never seen light, or the sunlight so bright, and faces he had never seen. And now he has sight, and all seems so right, except those who have come to complain.
“I know not.” Who is the Man who did such a thing, I know not, but of this I am sure; My eyes both were blind, and the Man of God did find – me, He Himself did the cure.
“I washed, and do see.” To answer your questions; I may never give, all the things you men are wanting to know. He told me to wash, and I did what He said, the results are obvious to show.
“I know…” Why is it a problem for men to perceive, that I know what has happened to me. It is not complicated; it is just as I stated; I was blind but now I can see.
“I was blind…” Blind is in the past; I did what He asked; I washed and He gave me my sight. I should know what has happened, it is me that has passed, out of darkness into His clear true light.
“I see.” I see; it’s not dark, from now on I will mark, this day as a red-letter day. I started out blind; depressed in my mind, but now by God’s grace I can see.
“I have told you…” I told you the truth, I got it right from His mouth; I washed just the way that He said. Now believe it or not, that’s up to you; but as for me, I am ever so glad.
“I might believe on him?” I didn’t know who He was at the first, I just appreciated all that He did. But I know now, without question at all; Jesus is the great Son of God.
“I believe.” I believe on Him now; at His feet I do bow; He is truly the Savior of men. I worship Him here, and will say everywhere, “He’s my Lord, for me He was sent.”
“I am come into this world, that they which see not might see.”
It was not just back then, to the man who was blind, that the Savior came to be known. Here, now, today: I will to you plainly say; He is Lord, we are not now our own.
“I learn a lot, Father, from those people and events of the past. Please help me keep from taking miracles for granted. Here in this hospital, waiting for results, I am reminded that You have made known to men, the way things are made so they can make repairs even on human bodies today, as the Lord did in His day. Amen.”
