Introduction
We have been working through the Gospel of John and we are at the blind man receiving sight from Jesus.
We are going to look at the testimony of the blind man and four questions we need to ask for our own testimony.
There are lots of types of testimonies
30 second testimony - if you were in an elevator could you share the story of your life and how Jesus is your Lord in 30 seconds
2 minute testimony - if you were walking with someone could you share your story and the story of Jesus in 2 minutes?
What about at a coffee shop?
Could you share your testimony at a coffee shop?
One of my favorite examples of testimonies is the I am Second.
Let’s watch one of the I am Second testimonies
I am Second - Michael W. Smith.

Questions 1
Question 1 - Who is Jesus?
The Pharisees said, “Jesus is not from God because He does not keep the Sabbath.”
Others said, “Only a man of God could perform such signs?”
The blind man said, “He is a prophet.”
What would you say?
If someone was to ask you who is Jesus?
What would you say?

Question 2
Question 1 - Who is Jesus?
Question 2 - Whose Faith Is It?
For those of us who grew up in church we need to ask ourselves a serious question - is our faith our own or is it the faith of our parents?
Youth listen up, at some point in your lives you will have to make a decision to follow your own faith and not the faith of your parents.
For the Jew - this happens when you have your bar mitzvah at about age 12.
From that point on they considered you of age
Which is why his parents said, “He is of age; ask him.”
So is your faith in Jesus your own, or are you relying on the faith of your parents?

If someone was to look at your life - who would they say you are following?
Would they say you are a follower of Jesus by the way you live?
Would they say you are a follower of Jesus by the way you spend your money?
Would they say you are a follower of Jesus by the way you love people?
Who are you following?

The Testimony of the Blind Man
It is an amazing thing that, that you do not know where He is from.
He opened my eyes.
God does not hear the prayers of sinners
Never has a man been blind and had his eyes opened
If Jesus was not from God, He could do nothing.
