Text: John 9: 38
THE FAITH OF THE FORMER BLIND MAN CONFIRMED
When the former blind man heard these words from the Lord Jesus Christ, his faith was completely confirmed.
“Then he said, ‘Lord, I believe!’ And he worshipped Him.”

1. The initial steps of faith of the former blind man
a. The first experience of the reality of God:
i. Through the notable miracle done for him.
ii. The gaining of his sight.
b. Through being pushed to explain his miracle of being given eyes to see.
i. He was convinced his Healer was not a sinner.
ii. He must have been sent by God.
iii. God had heard His prayers.
iv. He must be One devoted to worshiping God.
These were the bare details of his “faith!”
c. The special conversation with Jesus.
i. Jesus had sought him out.
ii. He had befriended him, and thus put Himself at risk of the anger of the Jews.
iii. Jesus had spoken to him so graciously and tenderly.
iv. His heart must have been stirred deeply as he sorted out his thoughts and feelings.
2. The final steps
a. He had seen Jesus.
b. He had even spoken to Him.
c. He had felt His touch.
d. He had felt His power.
e. He had been moved by His love.
f. He was absolutely ready to believe in Jesus as the Son of God.
g. And if He was truly the Son of God then he must worship Him.
h. There in public, in the presence of everyone, he worshipped Jesus as the Son of God.
