John 9:1-41 - Blindness of the Spirit
Points to Contemplate:Are you blind? What is the cause of your blindness? Is your blindness a permanent disability or are you willing to allow the healing love of Jesus Christ into your heart? Will you go where He sends you in order to be healed? Or, has your heart been hardened by self-righteousness? Does your blindness come from your failure to look for God's presence in your life? Is it as a result of the choices you have made not to respond to His guiding Spirit?
Are you carrying out the tasks of God? Do you see each moment and situation in your life as an opportunity to do the work of God? Are you reflecting the light of Christ into this darkness? If not, who will?
What spiritual blindness in your life needs healing? What guilt and sin remains in your life because you claim to see but do not? In what ways are you draping your self in robes of religious self-righteousness that keep you from truly seeing the kingdom of heaven? Are you focused on specific verses in scripture that support your thoughts and opinions? Do you judge the world through eyes of piety and superiority? Do you tend to condemn the sinners of the world or do you reach out to them with the light of God's love? Are you a Pharisee, well versed and proud? Or are you a simple sinner ready to do the work of God?
