John 9:21-22 – “But by what means he now seeth, we know not; or who hath opened his eyes, we know not: he is of age; ask him: he shall speak for himself. These words spake his parents, because they feared the Jews: for the Jews had agreed already, that if any man did confess that he was Christ, he should be put out of the synagogue.”

The parents of the man born blind, now healed by Jesus, were afraid to speak the truth about Jesus because they feared what the judges would do to them otherwise. Many continue in the same sin today. “He that sat upon the throne” (Revelation 21:5) said that “the fearful … shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone” (Revelation 21:5).

“God hath not given us a spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind” (2 Timothy 1:7). Trust the power. Exhibit the love. Use the sound mind.

Read again Matthew 10:32-33, then answer the question – Before whom will you confess Jesus today?
