What can we see without our sight?
I was watching the film Guru, where the main character comes upon a village of blind people and tries to convince them there is a world filled with sight, and if they just listened to him, they would see! I found many similarities between this fictional, literal scenario and the real metaphorical ways we are “blind” today.
The culture around us causes us to become blind: blind to our marriage vows, blind to parenting responsibilities, blind to family, and blind to our image as Christians in society. We must “open our eyes” to these parts of our lives to see what truly matters to us. Jesus was considered radical in his time for preaching against traditional beliefs and authority, and we must follow if we are to truly “see.”
How are we blind lately? What are we ignoring because it is seen as a societal truth?
Friends, we pray today for our eyes to be opened and our hearts renewed! Let us go and preach God’s Word!
