Am I blind too? [John 9:35-41]
Jesus not only preached the gospel of the kingdom, but also visited and healed many patients.
As Jesus was walking, he saw a man blind from birth.
The disciples next to him asked Jesus what sin made him blind.
Jesus said that he did not become blind because of anyone's sin, but that it was to show God's will.
And as long as Jesus was alive,
He said that he was the light of the world and opened the eyes of the blind to see.
Jesus can do anything through the weak and insignificant people in the world.
God's beautiful and good works are being accomplished.
Neighbors who saw the blind opened their eyes were astonished to see the change that they did not recognize.
Even the Pharisees saw and confirmed it with their own eyes, but rather than trying to believe in Jesus as the Messiah,
He said he had done this on the Sabbath, and instead treated him as a sinner and tried to arrest Jesus and kill him.
He said he couldn't believe it, and called his blind parents to confirm that his son was born blind.
The Pharisees called him back and asked him how Jesus had opened his eyes.
When he replied that he had now seen one thing through Jesus, he drove him away.
The Pharisees were blind to the thought of killing Jesus.
They did not believe in Jesus as the savior, even though they saw Jesus accomplishing the work of God.
When Jesus heard that the blind man who had opened his eyes had been driven out by the Pharisees, he went to see them.
And he proclaimed that he was the savior sent by God, and he received salvation by believing in Jesus.
The reason Jesus opened the eyes of the blind was to open their spiritual eyes so that they could believe in Jesus.
Because the physical eye can only see the material world, the spiritual world can only be seen with the spiritual eye.
It should be noted that what the physical eye can see is extremely limited. Taste it with your mouth,
Smell can be smelled with the nose, sound can be heard with the ear, and the heart can be seen with the feeling.
And the spiritual eternal world can only be seen with the eyes of faith.
Therefore, it is ignorant to insist that only what the physical eye sees is the truth and everything.
No matter how great the knowledge and experience of human beings, it is impossible to know everything that is visible.
All things visible in the world are created by the invisible hand of God. Therefore, it is necessary to know God who is the source and creator of all things through nature.
If you do not know God the Creator, you become spiritually blind and live a vain life wandering in darkness and die.
So Jesus left those who believe and know only what they see to be blind.
I admit that I can't see or know anything like a blind person
He comes to a humble person who asks for grace and opens his spiritual eyes.
Jesus came as light in a dark world.
If anyone meets Jesus, their spiritual eyes will be opened and they will be saved through faith in Jesus.
Looking to the eternal heaven, you will live a blessed life in hope.
