"Jesus said unto them, If ye were blind, ye should have no sin: but now ye say, We see; therefore your sin remaineth" (John 9:41).
Jesus came into the world to open the eyes of those who r spiritually blind so that they might know Him and be saved. Some who were blind when they saw his miracles and heard his messages believed on him unto salvation. But there were others who, although they saw with their physical eyes his miracles, refused to trust in him. And in so doing the spiritual darkness and blindness of their hearts was furthered revealed. In addition, the more they resisted the light of Jesus the more dark and blinded their hearts became. The light of Jesus could have showed them how blind they were and how much they needed to embrace his light that they might see. But instead their resistance to the light, on the account of believing that they could already see, actually resulted in more darkness and greater blindness. Jesus also said, "While ye have light, believe in the light, that ye may be the children of light" (John 12:36a). When we respond to the light that God gives us he will give us more light. But when we resist the light we plunge ourselves into greater darkness and blindness. To those who have embraced the light of Jesus Paul wrote, "For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light" (Eph 5:8). Do u desire to see brighter days? Walk in the light of the Lord.
“Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the wicked, nor stands in the way of sinners, nor sits in the seat of scoffers; but his delight is in the law of the Lord, and on his law he meditates day and night. He is like a tree planted by streams of water that yields its fruit in its season, and its leaf does not wither. In all that he does, he prospers.” Psalms 1:1-3
