The Power of Your Testimony
Commentators overwhelmingly agree that the healed man provides a powerful model for every Christian. He refuses to be drawn into a theological debate he can't win and instead stands on the undeniable fact of his personal experience. Scholars teach that your own story of transformation—"I was blind, but now I see"—is a powerful and unarguable witness to the power of Christ, even when you can't answer every skeptical question.
