Day 1: Future Generation as an effective witness

Formerly Blind Leading the Blind

It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick… For I have not come to call the righteous but the sinner. Matthew 9:13-13

An eye surgeon who went to China as a missionary, began preaching in one of China’s hospital. One of the first surgeries he performed was on a man who had been nearly blinded by cataracts. The operation was successful and the man recovered his eyesight.

A few weeks later, this missionary was greatly surprised when 48 blind men showed up on his hospital’s doorstep. These blind men had walked more than 250 miles from a remote area in China to get into the hospital, in order that they might get their sight restored. They had traveled the entire distance holding on to a rope that kept them together. And guess who had held the front end of the rope and led them all the way? It was the man who had his eyesight restored by the missionary surgeon.

Application:

We have been freed from the guilt of sin, and have our “eyes opened.” Are you leading others to same “Great Physician” Jesus Christ? Are you an effective witness? If not, start being a witness today and share what Jesus has done in your life.
