35 When Jesus heard what had happened, he found the man and asked, “Do you believe in the Son of Man?”36 The man answered, “Who is he, sir? I want to believe in him.”37 “You have seen him,” Jesus said, “and he is speaking to you!”38 “Yes, Lord, I believe!” the man said. And he worshiped Jesus.39 Then Jesus told him, “I entered this world to render judgment—to give sight to the blind and to show those who think they see that they are blind.”40 Some Pharisees who were standing nearby heard him and asked, “Are you saying we’re blind?”41 “If you were blind, you wouldn’t be guilty,” Jesus replied. “But you remain guilty because you claim you can see.

Interesting what Jesus describes his judgement as. In both ways, he is calling people to the truth.

Jesus never messed around with words. They always cut to the heart of the matter. It is like when we speak what the Holy Spirit directs us to speak in a situation now... it has the ability to cut to the heart of a matter because God knows the heart of who we are speaking to.
