John chapter 9, verse 25. He answered, whether he is a sinner I do not know.

One thing I do know that though I was blind, now I see.

I love that verse. I love this whole story. So this is John chapter 9's story of a man born

blind. And we hear and we read about Jesus healing him and the Pharisees are mad. The religious teachers, leaders, rulers, they are

mad. Like, just think about it. They're mad when this man is healed of his blindness,

in part because he was healed on the Sabbath. And so the Pharisees are saying, this man is not

from God. He's a sinner. And so they go,

they find this guy who was blind. And they say, we know this man is a sinner who healed you. And

that's when this man replies, whether he's a sinner, I do not know. One thing I do know,

though I was blind, now I see. In other words, here's what Jesus has done in my life.

And it's totally transformed everything.

He gives testimony.

And then the conversation goes on between this man and these religious leaders and it's's it's awesome the way he speaks to them

and and they end up in a very sad way totally casting him out saying you were born an

utter sin because they were basically believing that he had to have been blind because

of his sin or somebody else's sin and his family.

So they cast him out.

And Jesus finds him and says, do you believe in the son of man?

This guy says, who is he?

That I may believe in him.

Jesus said, you've seen him.
