“He answered and said, “Whether He is a sinner or not I do not know. One thing I know: that though I was blind, now I see.” (John 9, 25)
The tale of the cure of the man blind from birth can help us consider what our own situation is. We also can and must say, as did that man, “I was blind and now I see”. Without Jesus we are as blind men that are walking through life on unknown roads and as such bumping into things. Without Jesus we get into all kinds of problems and fall into sins that hurt us and even ruin the many opportunities that life offers us. Without Jesus and the moral light he gives us, we let ourselves follow our instincts, with the each time more permissive environment, and not only do we become our own enemies, but we hurt those around us, including those we love the most.
On the other hand, thanks to Jesus we have an idea of good and evil which helps us know where we should walk without making a mistake. Including if we fall, thanks to Jesus we know we can start again by asking forgiveness, and we also know which is the path in which we must place our steps alter the fall. Give thanks to God for having had the luck to know him and run to tell the rest that we were blind and that Jesus has cured us, He has saved us. Do not do it this way would be a grave sin of omission, since perhaps it could be our testimony that would help someone, who is blind as we were, to look for and find Christ, to have light, to let them be saved by the Lord. We do not fear that they criticize us for defending and living an ethic that they call antiquate; in reality, everyone admires us for going against the tide and, in each moment of history, these are those who have saved the world the whole world.
Intention: Notice that your life has to be an attractive testimony for the rest. Do not hide your faith because of embarrassment. Be a witness.
