Meditations from Zion

John 9:36-38
“Who is he, sir?” the man asked. “Tell me so that I may believe in him.”
Jesus said, “You have now seen him; in fact, he is the one speaking with you.”
Then the man said, “Lord, I believe,” and he worshiped him.

Over and over again Jesus revealed his identity. These were not private conversations. People around heard and saw, but did not understand, they did not believe.

What did it look like, this man who was healed of blindness, worshipping Jesus on the street outside the synagogue? Did the man fall to the ground and touch Jesus’s feet? Did he start singing, shouting, rejoicing? Did he take Jesus’s hands and kiss them? This is not some common occurrence to worship someone on the street. This was different. This was understanding and sight and clarity all in one burst. It must have been like a great flash of light in this man’s mind.

If we ask for clarity then we need to act on the answer.
