What Does John 9:25 Mean?
Pressed to endorse the official conclusion, the man declines to argue what he cannot assess — "whether he be a sinner or no, I know not" — and plants his feet on ground no court can take from him: "one thing I know, that, whereas I was blind, now I see."
It is one of Scripture's great sentences of testimony, so enduring that it has been sung for centuries. He claims nothing beyond his knowledge and surrenders nothing within it. Learned men may out-argue you; they cannot out-experience you. What Christ has actually done in a life is evidence with standing, and the humblest believer who can say "I was blind, now I see" holds something every argument must finally reckon with.
