“Secret Miracle”

John 9: 20, 21: “His parents answered them and said, ‘We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind; but how he now sees, we do not know; or who opened his eyes, we do not know.’” The context of this story indicates that the healed man’s parents did, indeed, know that it was Jesus who had healed their son, but fear was causing them to try to keep the fact secret (v. 22). Did they really think that would work? At least their son was not afraid, and was ready to tell the world what Jesus had done for him. Are we?
