| Open Our Eyes That We May See |
|
| ¡°I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.¡± ( John 8:12 , NIV ) |
|
Blind since birth - a story of amazing contrasts. Healing power. Spiritual blindness. Faith. Fear. Ultimately, the love of Jesus. Learning the man had been cast from the synagogue, Jesus found him and offered something more beautiful than physical sight. ¡°You have seen (the Son of Man), . . . he is speaking with you.¡± ¡°I was blind and now I see¡± was given new meaning through eyes of faith.
Sadly, the Pharisees remained blind. Paul explains, ¡°The god of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers, so that they cannot see the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, . . .¡± But more, ¡°For God, who said, ¡®Let light shine out of darkness, made his light shine in our hearts to give us the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Christ¡± (2 Corinthians 4:4, 6, NIV).
There is nothing more beautiful than the countenance of one whose heart is filled with the light of Jesus¡¯ love.
Silently now, I wait for Thee,
Ready, my God, Thy will to see,
Open my eyes, illumine me, Savior divine.
- Charles H. Scott |

Father, we were blind, but because of Your great love we now see. Help us to see ever more clearly. In Jesus¡¯name. Amen. - BRUCE and JANE EVANS, Abilene, Texas |
