Revisiting the third trial of the man born blind, we see that the man's defense of Jesus doing God's work is good. The defense is simple but good. The Jews trying him do not like it because it is a good defense, so they remove him rather than attempting to refute it.

The man born blind is not more educated than anyone else, yet he was able to talk to his peers and the Pharisees in defense of Jesus. We may not be especially equipped for a defense of the faith, but we can also witness Jesus with simple arguments. People may not accept these arguments, but it is not our work to change hearts. The Holy Spirit converts people and He does this through the Gospel. Therefore, we should preach the Gospel. To make it meaningful, we should preach our experience in the Gospel and the Gospel directed to the person to whom we are preaching. We may be rejected but if we continue in a relationship with them, the Spirit will continue to work.

Other topics we touch on include: showing the Gospel in our actions (living out the hope that is within us that people might experience this hope) and cooperation in matters of faith in reception of grace (we are completely passive in reception of grace, but we cooperate in that we do not hinder or reject the grace of God).
