Blindness


Blindness

 

John 9:3 

3 Jesus answered, “Neither this man nor his parents sinned, but he was born blind so that the acts of God may be revealed through what happens to him.

 

If a man is born blind ... spiritual that is

Who sinned then? ... Seems to affect us all.

Most folks are seeing but asked about this view?

They shrug it off quickly … blinded after all?

 

To see what we want to see ... may keep us totally blind.

Is blindness than a choice or an inherited condition?

Like talking with a voice to make words a sounding

but that’s not communication ... just part of disposition.
