John 9:31-33

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon

Read in KJV Bible Reader

John 9:31-33. But if any man be a worshipper of God, and doeth his will, him he heareth. Since the world began was it not heard that any man opened the eyes of one that was born blind. If this man were not of God, he could do nothing.

Bravo, you who used to be blind! What an irresistible thing truth is, whoever handles it! These Pharisees, keen of intellect, well instructed in the letter of the law, yet crafty, up to their eyes in self-conceit, are like chaff driven before the wind when a plain-speaking man does but handle the truth of the living God. Never be afraid or ashamed to spread the gospel of Christ, my brethren and sisters; nay,-

"Speak his Word, though kings should hear,

Nor yield to sinful shame."

A beggar with the truth is mightier than priests and princes with a lie.
