"If you were blind, your wouldn't be guilty," Jesus replied. "But you remain guilty because you claim you can see."
John 9:41 NLT
In the beginning of John 9, we meet a man who was born blind. He is then healed by the power of Jesus, and then is questioned by Pharisees, He then meets Jesus and declares Him the Son of God. But there's a lesson in this story - about spiritual blindness. You see, this blind beggar accepted that he was a sinner (as all men have fallen short of God's glory) and was in need of help. Not only physical help (being blind), but also spiritual help, on the inside. Jesus wants us to learn that we need to accept that we need help before He can help us. If we don't, He cannot, just like in the Pharisees case. The Pharisees were blind and thought they could see and that just because they were descendants of Moses they needed no deliverance from sin, which is obviously not true. Jesus could not help these people because they didn't allow Him to heal them of their blindness, and therefore, like Jesus said, their sin remained. Sometimes this is us. We don't allow Jesus to help us, or we can't see who He really is, because we are blind, just like the Pharisees.
I hope you learnt from this Biblical Truth post what spiritual blindness is and that you will let Jesus help you today!
