tell your story

Friday March 7th, John 9: 24 A second time they summoned the man who had been blind. "Give glory to God," they said. "We know this man is a sinner." 25 He replied, "Whether he is a sinner or not, I don't know. One thing I do know. I was blind but now I see!" 26 Then they asked him, "What did he do to you? How did he open your eyes?" 27 He answered, "I have told you already and you did not listen. Why do you want to hear it again? Do you want to become his disciples, too?" Their parameters of understanding were set. Sin was involved, someone was guilty, otherwise it would not fit within their world view. The man born blind simply tells his story. In a world of skeptics and power, can we do any better? In the end, aren’t we all just called to tell our story and how it interacts with the story of God? It is through stories that our eyes are open and we begin to see the presence of God in the world round us and in our lives also. It is through people telling stories that we are given the strength to give voice to our story also. It is through these stories that the world that the world around us can begin to see. Tell your story.
