March 18, 2012 (4th Sunday of Lent)
When Jesus healed the man who was blind from birth, the religious leaders looked for every reason they could think of for him being able to see - except the right one. They questioned whether he had actually been blind, they even brought in his parents to interrogate regarding this matter. They wondered about the spiritual condition of the One who gave him sight because He had the audacity to give him sight on the Sabbath. They threatened and intimidated, but refused to consider the possibility that the blind man gained sight due to the touch of the Messiah. These spiritual leaders were blind to the truth because they were so stubbornly believing that they possessed the truth already. Are we so blind to truth that we are unable to see the truth when it is right before our eyes?
