NOTES:
QUESTIONS FOR FURTHER STUDY
Read John 9 and discuss:
• What stands out to you most about this miracle in John 9? Why
do you think John includes so many details about the man’s
conversations after he was healed?
• The disciples asked, “Who sinned?” but Jesus shifted the question to,
“What might God be doing?” When have you seen God use a difficult
or painful situation as a platform for His power in your life or someone
else’s?
• The blind man’s story began when Jesus found him. How did Jesus
first get your attention or “open your eyes”? What undeniable change
have others noticed in you since meeting Christ?
• His understanding of Jesus grew from “the man called Jesus” to
“a prophet.” In what ways has your understanding of who Jesus is
deepened over time? What experiences or challenges have helped
strengthen your faith?
• The man didn’t have all the answers, but he had a story: “One thing
I know…” What’s your “one thing I know” statement? How can sharing
that simple truth cut through arguments or doubts around you?
• The healed man’s boldness cost him acceptance in his community.
Why do you think following Jesus sometimes brings rejection? Have
you ever faced resistance or loss because of your faith?
• When others cast him out, Jesus found him again. How does that
moment show the heart of the gospel? What does it mean to you
personally that Jesus receives those who admit their need?
• What impacted you most from the message?
PERSONAL REFLECTION AND APPLICATION
• Where are you in the “progression of a testimony”? Are you at the
beginning (experiencing Jesus’ grace), growing in conviction, learning
boldness, or resting in assurance?
• This week, intentionally share part of your testimony with one person
who might need hope. You don’t have to explain everything; just tell
your “One thing I know” story. Then pray for that person by name each
day this week.
