The formerly blind man was happy to have his sight, and he publicly honored Jesus for healing him, having given the crowd a detailed account of his healing. Jesus, having moved on with His earthly ministry, was not presently with the healed man. What a sad confession the healed man had to make: that he did not know where Jesus was.
Upon the completed gospel work of Christ, believers can say with confidence that we know where Jesus is: that He is in Heaven, seated at the right hand of the Father, waiting until His enemies should be made a footstool for His feet (Heb 10:12-13). And Jesus is always present with believers (Matt 28:20), dwelling in our hearts through faith (Eph 3:17) by the indwelling of the Holy Spirit (John 14:16-17).
