“One Thing I Know”
Seeking Jesus First - April 18, 2026
“One Thing I Know”
Please Read John 9:24–34 (NKJV)
Reflection
The Pharisees called the healed man in for a second round of questioning. They were determined to discredit Jesus. They pressured him, saying, “Give God the glory! We know that this Man is a sinner.”
But the man who had once been blind refused to back down. With growing courage and simple faith, he gave one of the most powerful testimonies in the Bible:
“One thing I know: that though I was blind, now I see.”
He didn’t argue theology. He didn’t try to match their learning. He simply told the truth about what Jesus had done for him. The more they pressed him, the bolder he became:
“Why do you want to hear it again? Do you also want to become His disciples?”
This man’s faith was growing right in front of them. At first he called Jesus “a prophet.” Now he was willing to suffer for Him. Pressure did not silence him — it strengthened him.
In the Kingdom life, simple, powerful testimony is often more effective than complex arguments. “One thing I know” carries great weight because it is honest, personal, and undeniable. The man born blind didn’t claim to understand everything, but what he did know, he declared boldly.
This is the kind of testimony that shakes religious systems. It doesn’t rely on credentials or perfect answers — it rests on a genuine encounter with Jesus. When we have been touched by the Light of the World, we can stand with confidence even under pressure and say, “One thing I know…”
Application
Today, ask the Holy Spirit to bring to mind one clear thing you know Jesus has done for you. Renew your mind with this truth: Simple, honest testimony is powerful, especially under pressure. Don’t wait until you have all the answers. Choose today to share your “one thing I know” story with someone. It may be as simple as “I was lost, but now I’m found” or “I was bound, but Jesus set me free.” Speak it with courage. Your testimony can plant seeds of faith in someone who is still walking in darkness.
Prayer
Heavenly Father, thank You for the courage of the man born blind who stood before the Pharisees and declared, “One thing I know: though I was blind, now I see.” Thank You that simple, honest testimony has great power. Forgive us when we have stayed silent out of fear or waited until we had perfect answers. Renew our minds today to value truth-telling more than comfort or approval. Give us boldness to share what we do know about Jesus — what He has done for us and how He has changed us. May our simple testimony bring glory to Your Son and draw others into His light. In Jesus’ name, giving thanks for the living Word of the Lord. Amen.
