This week we will explore one more story in the New Testament.

CHAPTER TEN

Brief summary: A man given his sight after being blind from birth finds a stronger and stronger voice to tell his story of the One who healed him and proclaimed faith in JESUS. The author makes a direct appeal to the reader to reflect on her own story, her growing love for the LORD JESUS, and the power of her own story to draw others to the Savior! To lead unbelievers to trust in JESUS for eternal life and peace with holy GOD, and to encourage fellow believers to trust Him with their day-to-day joys, longings, and more importantly, their hard places. To ask the LORD to show the reader exactly how she can share her experiences – to not keep the Love of her life a secret, but to find her voice and tell her story!⁣
