The Lord healed many folks having physical blindness during His time on earth. Of greater concern to Him, however, were the spiritually blind. Many of the religious authorities who investigated the healing of the blind man refused to believe that Jesus was not a sinner (John 9:13-34).
This caused Jesus to say:
“For judgment I have come into this world, that those who do not see may see, and that those who see may be made blind” (John 9:39).
The apostle Paul wrote to the Corinthian brethren of this spiritual blindness:
“If our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing, whose minds the god of this age has blinded, who do not believe, lest the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine on them” (2 Corinthians 4:3-4).
It was the Psalmist who said:
“The entrance of Your words gives light” (Psalm 119:130).
Beloved, a reading and study of God’s Word is what will open our eyes and cure spiritual blindness (1 Timothy 4:13; 2 Timothy 2:15 KJV).
