  • Seeing is Believing

    Seeing is Believing
    Jan 20 2025
    In John chapter 9, we encounter a powerful story of physical and spiritual transformation. The healing of a man born blind serves as a profound metaphor for our own journey from spiritual darkness to light. As we delve into this narrative, we're challenged to examine our own spiritual sight. Are we, like the Pharisees, blinded by our preconceptions and rigid beliefs? Or are we open to seeing the miraculous work of God in unexpected ways? This passage reminds us that true sight goes beyond the physical – it's about recognizing Jesus as the source of all healing and truth. Just as the blind man's faith grew from seeing Jesus as a man, to a prophet, and finally as the Son of God, we too are invited to deepen our understanding and relationship with Christ. Let's reflect on how we might be spiritually blind in some areas of our lives and ask God to open our eyes to His transformative power.
