Read Matthew 7-9
Matthew 9:30 says, "And their eyes were opened; and Jesus straitly charged them, saying, See that no man know it." The men Jesus was talking to were blind. He gave them their eyesight back. How in the world could they have kept it a secret?
People who knew them would certainly notice they were no longer blind. They’d pester the men to tell them how it was they were able to see now. The men couldn’t pretend to continue to be blind—that would have been crazy.
The difference in the men would draw attention to them. They wouldn’t need to seek opportunities to tell people about Jesus—they wouldn’t be able to stop the questions others would have about what happened to them. The difference Jesus makes in our lives should be as obvious. Others will demand to know how we got this way and we’ll have the opportunity to tell them. Just like those blind men.
