Do You Believe in the Son of God?

John 9:35–41

“Jesus heard that they had cast him out, and when he had found him, He said to him, ‘Do you believe in the Son of God?’”
— John 9:35 (NKJV)

💔 Rejected… But Not Forgotten

The man who had just received his sight was not celebrated—he was cast out.

Instead of awe and worship, the religious leaders chose pride and intimidation. They weren’t interested in the miracle. They were offended by the method and by the Man who performed it. So they interrogated, humiliated, and ultimately excommunicated the healed man from their religious system.

But Jesus heard.
And Jesus found him.

Just like the Good Shepherd that He is, Jesus went after the one who had been rejected for his testimony. And the question He asked was not about the miracle, not about the Pharisees—but about faith:

“Do you believe in the Son of God?”

👁️ From Physical Sight to Spiritual Vision

This man had already shown courage. He had stood in truth, unashamed. But now, he’s offered something greater than healing—he’s offered relationship.

“Who is He, Lord, that I may believe in Him?” (v.36)

The humility of that question speaks volumes. His heart was open, his eyes now truly ready to see. And Jesus gave him the answer he longed for:

“You have both seen Him and it is He who is talking with you.” (v.37)

The response?

“Lord, I believe.”
And he worshiped Him.

⚖️ The Great Reversal

Jesus closes this moment with a piercing statement:

“For judgment I have come into this world, that those who do not see may see, and that those who see may be made blind.” (v.39)

This is a spiritual reversal. Those who acknowledge their need—who admit they’re blind—are given sight. But those who insist they already see (like the Pharisees) are confirmed in their blindness. Pride has a way of blocking revelation. And spiritual arrogance… keeps us from grace.

🔍 Reflect & Respond

• Have I ever felt rejected for standing in truth?

• Do I recognize when Jesus finds me in my lowest moments?

• Am I quick to confess that I don't know it all—and open to new spiritual sight?

🙏 A Prayer for Today:

Lord, thank You for finding me when others rejected me. I choose to believe—not just in what You can do—but in who You are: the Son of God. Remove any pride or blindness in me, and help me walk humbly in truth. Open my eyes, that I may see You clearly and worship In Jesus’ name. Amen.
