John 9 — “Spiritual Blindness”
A man who had been blind from birth receives his sight. But as John 9 unfolds, we discover that the greater blindness in the chapter isn’t physical at all. The man who could not see begins to recognize Jesus for who He truly is, while the religious leaders who were convinced they could see become increasingly blind to the truth standing right in front of them. That raises an important question for every one of us: Do we have eyes to see who Jesus really is? Spiritual blindness isn’t always caused by a lack of knowledge. Sometimes it comes through pride, self-reliance, religious confidence, hardened hearts, or simply becoming so convinced that we are right that we are no longer willing to let God correct us. The blind man could say one simple, powerful thing: “One thing I do know, that though I was blind, now I see.” — John 9:25 In this episode of Rooted in God’s Word, we walk through John 9 and consider what spiritual blindness looks like, what causes it, and how we can guard our own hearts against it. Our prayer should continually be: “Lord, help me see what You see, believe what You say, and change what You show me is wrong.” 🎧 Join us for “Spiritual Blindness” — John Chapter 9, on Rooted in God’s Word. #RootedInGodsWord #SpiritualBlindness #John9 #GospelOfJohn #JesusChrist #BibleStudy #GodsWord #Faith #ChristianPodcast #BibleTeaching #OpenMyEyes #FollowJesus #FirstBaptistChurchOfHightstown
