Spiritual Blindness

John 9:35-41

35
When Jesus heard what had happened, he found the man and asked, “Do you believe in the Son of Man? 36 The man answered, “Who is he, sir? I want to believe in him.” 37 “You have seen him,” Jesus said, “and he is speaking to you!” 38 “Yes, Lord, I believe!” the man said. And he worshiped Jesus. 39 Then Jesus told him, “I entered this world to render judgment—to give sight to the blind and to show those who think they see that they are blind.” 40 Some Pharisees who were standing nearby heard him and asked, “Are you saying we’re blind?” 41 “If you were blind, you wouldn’t be guilty,” Jesus replied. “But you remain guilty because you claim you can see.

God's Love For Us

1 John 4:7-12

7 Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. 8 Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love. 9 This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him. 10 This is love: not that we loved God, but that loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins. 11 Dear friends, since God so loved us, we also ought to on another. 12 No one has ever seen God; but if we love one another, God lives in us and his love is made complete in us.

Blinded

BLINDED

It's What We Are And What We Will Always Be
We're Human What Can I Say
We're Ignorant And As Stubborn As Mules

. . . Most Of The Time . . .

But Then The Other Part Of The Time
It Clicks In With Us
We Heard
We Listened
To What God Had To Say

It's In Our Nature To Be In Control
But Why Should We Care
Or Even Dare
When Christ Is Here
It's Like We Can't Fully Trust Him
Now What's That For Nonsense

He Knows That We're Ignorant
And As Stubborn As Mules
He Knows We Need Him
And Sooner Than Later We All Know That Too
However Sometimes We Need That Little Reminder
