Spiritual Blindness

Jesus Heals the Blind Man John 9:1-42 Born blind Jesus reveals the power of God A “Sabbath” healing The Pharisee’s inquisition

Jesus Heals the Blind Man John 9:1-42 The man’s reply: I don’t know whether he is a sinner, but I know this: I was blind and now I can see!

Jesus’ Questions To the man: Do you believe in the Son of Man? His response: Yes, Lord, I believe!

The Pharisee’s Question To Jesus: Are you saying we are blind? Jesus replies: If you were blind, you wouldn’t be guilty – you claim to see yet you are blind (spiritually)

What does it mean to be spiritually blind?

Ephesians 5: For once you were full of darkness, but now you have light from the Lord. So live as people of light! 9 For this light within you produces only what is good and right and true.

10 Carefully determine what pleases the Lord. 11 Take no part in the worthless deeds of evil and darkness; instead, expose them. 12 It is shameful even to talk about the things that ungodly people do in secret.

13 But their evil intentions will be exposed when the light shines on them, 14 for the light makes everything visible. This is why it is said, “Awake, O sleeper, rise up from the dead, and Christ will give you light.” “Awake, O sleeper, rise up from the dead, and Christ will give you light.”

All of us were full of darkness (at one time) All of us were full of darkness (at one time) Live as people of light Live as people of light Determine what pleases the Lord Determine what pleases the Lord Those who live in spiritual darkness will be exposed! Those who live in spiritual darkness will be exposed!
