You've heard the phrase, "on fire for the Lord." There was a real difference between the healed man and his critics. He had just received his sight, and, with it, he received a mission. straightaway, he was seeking to win his critics for Christ: "Do you too want to become His disciples?" (John 9:27). the healed man was on fire for the Lord. His critics were also on fire, but they burned with a very different fire. They were burning with the desire to have Jesus killed. They did not know who Jesus was (John 9:29), because they did not want to know Him. they refused to recognize what the Lord had done for the blind man. In the face of such unbelief, we, who must continue to give our testimony: "He opened my eyes" (John 9:30). We must pray for our critics - "Open their eyes, Lord, and let them see Jesus."
