Luke 18

Luke 18:43 And immediately he received his sight, and followed Him, glorifying God. And all the people, when they saw it, gave praise to God.

The blind man, who was healed, made that the multitued praised God. Through his testimony he made the people know God better. His life became a testimony for the power and love of Jesus!!!

Matthew5:14 “You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden.
Matthew5:15 Nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house.
Matthew5:16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.

There are two places/stages in which we have to shine:

1. First we have to give light to all who are in the house (verse 15)
2. Then we have to shine before men (verse 16)

So we first have to shine in our house before we can shine in the world. First we have to strengthen the faith of our brothers and sisters in church and then we can go out into the world to make disciples.

The blind man in this story also shines. He proclaims the wonder of God and makes it known to everyone. This is what he does to make others praise God.
May we also be able to live a life worthy to give testimony for God so that others may praise God through it.
