JESUS CAME TO… GIVE

“RECOVERY OF SIGHT TO THE BLIND”

To those who are spiritually blind to God, the things of God, whose senses are darkened, depraved, who cannot seem understand the spiritual realities about God and the things of God. Hopelessly blind. Living in spiritual darkness. These verses show the spiritual condition of the spiritually blind…

– “But people who aren’t spiritual can’t receive these truths from God’s Spirit. It all sounds foolish to them and they can’t understand it, for only those who are spiritual can understand what the Spirit means.”-{1 Cor 2:14 NLT}.

– “…being darkened in their understanding, excluded from the life of God because of the ignorance that is in them, because of the hardness of their heart;”-{Eph 4:18}.

-“…The message of the cross is foolish to those who are headed for destruction! But we who are being saved know it is the very power of God.”- {1 Cor 1:18 NLT}.

D.- ” For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men who suppress the truth in unrighteousness,  because that which is known about God is evident within them; for God made it evident to them.  For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood through what has been made, so that they are without excuse.  For even though they knew God, they did not honor Him as God or give thanks, but they became futile in their speculations, and their foolish heart was  darkened.  Professing to be wise, they became fools,  and exchanged the glory of the incorruptible God for an image in the form of corruptible man and of birds and four-footed animals and crawling creatures.  Therefore God gave them over in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, so that their bodies would be dishonored among them.  For they exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.  “- {Romans 1:18-24}

“They are darkened in their understanding and separated from the life of God because of the ignorance that is in them due to the hardening of their hearts. ” – {Eph 4;17-18}. “But a natural man does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually appraised. But he who is spiritual appraises all things, yet he himself is appraised by no one. For who has known the mind of the Lord, that he will instruct Him? But we have the mind of Christ.” -{1 Cor 2:14-16}.

They cannot see the glory of God apart from God granting spiritual sight through Jesus. He is God’s gift to open the eyes of the Spiritually blind and impart spiritual life and Spiritual sight!

“Jesus answered and said to him,”Truly, Truly, I say to you unless one Is Born again he cannot SEE the kingdom of God.”-{John 3:3} 

“And I said, ‘Who are You, Lord?’ And the Lord said, ‘I am Jesus whom you are persecuting. But get up and stand on your feet; for this purpose I have appeared to you, to appoint you a minister and a witness not only to the things which you have seen, but also to the things in which I will appear to you; rescuing you from the Jewish people and from the Gentiles, to whom I am sending you, to open their eyes SO THAT they may turn from darkness to light and from the dominion of Satan to God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins and an inheritance among those who have been sanctified by faith in Me.’”-{Acts 26:15-18}

“I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in his holy people, and his incomparably great power for us who believe.”-{Eph 1:18-19}

“Amazing grace how sweet the sound that saved a wretch like me, I once was blind but now I see…”
