John 9:35-41

Jesus went to find the man who He had healed of his blindness and was thrown out of the temple for not denouncing Him. The man professed his belief in Jesus and Jesus said that He had come to make things clear to the world and that those who were blind would see and those who thought they could see would be proven to be blind.

Jesus cares for those who are persecuted in His name. He seeks them out and comforts them, raising them up and helping them to get back on their feet. Only by admitting that we are lost without Him can we receive the sight that He offers. If we insist on depending on ourselves, we will continue living in darkness.
