Tuesday's lesson: Cross-examining witnesses. Look how interesting, Jesus found that man born blind. And then, the cure took place.
And then from verse eight onwards, look how interesting. Then the neighbors and those who had previously known him by sight, as a beggar, asked: Is this not the one who sat begging? The guy lived his whole life walking back and forth with chopsticks.
So, because he was blind. He couldn't see things. Then I would hit a wall, hit a person.
Everyone look: Here comes the blind man. Here he comes again. And for years, all those neighbors, those people looked up and that was his reality.
Then pay attention. . .
Behold, he meets Jesus. After the encounter with Jesus, the change was so profound in that man's life that the question arises: Is it really him? And then they start to wonder: Is it really him?
Then they reached the conclusion. Okay, it's him. No, but that's okay, it's him, but he changed.
Here comes another question: Okay, it's him, he changed. The question is: How has it changed? Why did it change?
And then it's the moment when he has the option and the opportunity to talk about who changed his story. That someone is Jesus. This same logic should also work in our lives, which was also the logic of the Samaritan woman.
It is at the moment when Jesus talked to the Samaritan woman, she entered her city again. She said: Hey, look here, people say oops, calm down, there's been some change in her. Some change.
Who changed this woman? Whose was she, who is she now? Oh, I also want to meet that someone.
This same logic should work in our lives. You and I are one or were one before we met Jesus. And now that we know Jesus, we allow Jesus to work in our lives, that Jesus transforms who we are.
So people will look and say: Oops, calm down. He was like that, that one over there drank until late, that one over there was a womanizer and that one over there snorted powder like no one else. That other guy there drank until he fell.
He was, man but it looks like he's changed. But why did it change? Oh there.
Because he met Jesus. And then, through the transformation of what Jesus causes in our lives, we end up having the opportunity to tell other people about the love of Jesus. I want to invite you.
I want to make an invitation so that you can be the greatest sermon you can preach to other people through your actions and who you are today after Jesus came into your life. Sometimes we think that a sermon is simply when the pastor is there in front of the church talking about the Bible. No no.
The greatest sermon there is is people transformed by Jesus. And this sermon, it can be a sermon that takes place in the middle of the street, it can be a sermon that takes place in the workplace. You are that sermon, you are the demonstration.
You are the fruit of Jesus' miracle. To the point that people will say: Then I met that guy there. He used to be very crazy, but he has changed.
Why did it change? Oh, he met Jesus. So, if Jesus changed his life, it means that Jesus can make a difference in my life too.
So, may our transformation be like this, a testimony of what God can do, including in other people's lives.
