Greetings beloved,
Today we will continue to examine Christ's word's from the fourth chapter of the Gospel of St. Luke verse 18. Jesus is continuing to read the prophecy about the Messiah to the Nazareth congregation.
The truth is that everyone who was there to hear Jesus, could see with their eyes physically, but the majority were spiritually blind. Jesus said that God sends the Messiah to preach: "...recovery of sight to the blind" (Luke 4:18).
During Jesus' ministry, He miraculously healed blind persons. He also healed spiritual blindness. Those who listened had the eyes of their understanding enlightened by God's spirit. In this way, Jesus was the Light of the world.
God's spirit still guides scientists and surgeons as they restore sight to the blind. The Spirit still opens the eyes of those who are spiritually blind through Christians as we share the Gospel of Jesus Christ. We can help contribute to these types of miracles around the world by supporting Gospel and medical missions. Do you appreciate the sight and insight that God has given you?
Pray with me... Heavenly Father, we thank You for our physical eyesight. For the ability to see the beauty of Your creation. Grant us we pray; understanding and insight into Your will, your Word, our identity in Christ, who we are, where we came from, and where we are going. Help us to be lead by You and to lead others to you as their spiritual eyes are opened. In Christ Jesus' holy name we pray. AMEN!
God's blessings to you all,
Fr. Ernest+
