One Thing

John 9 begins with the story of the man born blind, whom Jesus healed with the clay He made from saliva. The Pharisees, instead of seeing God at work in their midst, see Jesus only as one who has broken the Sabbath, and a sinner in their eyes. They bring the man who was once blind before them to question him, wanting him call Jesus a sinner as well. The man does not argue with them, or attempt to convince them of the error of their ways. But he says something that strikes me as very interesting: “Whether He is a sinner or not I do not know. One thing I know: that though I was blind, now I see.” One thing. I once was blind, but now I see.
There is a certainly time for fancy explanations, and a time for in depth conversations and debates and discussions. But sometimes, that’s not necessary. Sometimes, all we need is one thing. Sometimes all we need to know and all we need to say is that same thing: though I was blind, now I see. Sometimes, one thing is enough.

I had some really smart comment I was going to leave on this entry. Alas, somewhere between clicking on it in my google reader and typing in my info, I lost it.
This is what happens when ya have Humanities and Mythology back-to-back and are waiting for an awesome tv show to come on at 9 pm EST. It messes with your head. Annnnywayyyyy, when that comment decides it wants to come back into my head, I will leave it here. 
Great entry.
