Digest

Answer from what the passage actually says — stay in the text.

  1. What does this passage show me about God?

    • What does the healed man come to understand about Jesus as the story unfolds?
  2. What does it show me about people — and about myself?

    • Where are you spiritually blind, or slow to see who Jesus is?
  3. What will I obey this week? (a concrete step, with a day)

    • Like the man, how will you tell simply what Jesus has done for you this week?
  4. Who will I tell?

    • Who could you tell your own story of what Jesus has done?

Grow

Growth is God's part, not yours. Do the cycle faithfully and trust Him to give the growth (1 Corinthians 3:6–7).

Pray

Jesus, thank you that you open blind eyes. Where I cannot yet see, help me trust you, and give me courage to say what you have done.
