Spiritual Blindness

From: Billy Graham Ministries

 

John 9:25 "One thing I know, I was once blind but now I can see."

 

I often try to explain the joy of following Christ: the thrill, the excitement, the exhilaration—knowing where I’ve come from, why I’m here, where I’m going! There’s a reason for existence. There’s a reason for getting up every morning of the year.

 

I try to tell folks what I’ve found in Jesus Christ, and in studying the Scriptures and walking with Him, and they say, “I can’t see that!” Of course, they can’t. They are blind.

 

Try to explain television to a blind man. He can understand a little of it, but it doesn’t make sense to him. Try to explain a sunset to him. He’s blind to it. The scales must be removed from your eyes. Christ can remove them right now and you can start living and seeing a whole new world that you never knew existed, if you will just let Him open your spiritual eyes.
