Everyone loves a good story. From the time we are little kids until we are fully grown adults, people love to listen to a good story. Young children enjoy their parents reading to them and adults enjoy a good book or movie. People really love a good story.

And every person has a story to tell. Whether it be about a personal triumph or overcoming some tragedy, we all have something worthwhile to share. As Christians, we have a story even more compelling to share with others. Our story is about how Jesus changed our lives. While you may not think your story is worthy of sharing, let me assure you that it is.

In John 9, Jesus healed a man who had been blind since birth. When the man returned to his neighbors, they could not believe it was really him. This was the man they had seen countless times sitting and begging for spare change. Now he was leaping around like never before. How could a man who was born blind see so clearly all of a sudden? His neighbors wanted to know, what was his story? (John 9:8-10).

That’s when the man told them about how Jesus completely changed his life. “He answered, the man called Jesus made mud and anointed my eyes and said to me, ‘Go to Siloam and wash.’ So I went and washed and received my sight” (John 9:11).

Although the man’s story of how Jesus changed his life was short and simple, it was captivating. In essence, Jesus gave him a command, he did what Jesus commanded and then he was able to reap the blessing of seeing for the first time, all because the man was obedient and did exactly what Jesus said. Wow, what a story!

I may not know the story of how you came to Christ, but I promise you have a story you need to share. Whether you think it’s worthy of sharing or not, it is. Let’s all be like the blind man who Jesus healed and be willing to share our story. Your story just might lead someone else to Jesus.
