“Woe unto you, ye blind guides, which say…” Matthew 23:16
There is more than one kind of blindness. Jesus charged the religious establishment of His day with spiritual blindness; they could see with their eyes, but remained blind concerning spiritual truth. Commenting on this, the Apostle Paul said, “…for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.” I am unable to comprehend the horror of meeting God, only to realize that I lived my life in spiritual blindness.
God, speaking through His prophet Isaiah said He will, “… open the blind eyes, to bring out the prisoners from the prison, and them that sit in darkness out of the prison house.” Those who are blind and acknowledge the same, to them God gives sight. God wants His people to see reality as He sees it. The world, insisting that it can see without God’s assistance, refuses to come to the Light. Thus, thinking that they see, they live in darkness.
How can you know if you see or are blind? Scripture says indicators include an eager heart to obey all God commands, acknowledging that His will is “good, acceptable, and perfect.” Anytime you resist His will you can conclude you are blind, living in darkness
