Matthew 13:16 KJV
But blessed are your eyes, for they see: and your ears, for they hear.
We who are Christians are such a blessed people!
That God would forgive us of our sins is a blessing beyond expressions
That God would give us a home in His heaven is such a blessing
That God would lead us away from a life of sin is a blessing
But perhaps the most overlooked of our blessings is that God would give to us His Word and open our eyes and ears to hear and see it. This world is filled with such spiritual blindness.
There are those who are trapped in the blindness of some cultish religion
There are those who are blinded by their religious traditions
There are those who are blinded culturally to the truths of God's Word and
There are those who are blinded by pride, selfishness and sin
It is obvious that our eyes are not completely opened.
Truly we see through a glass darkly. But we do see.
Often the truths of the Word of God appear to us in "fuzzy print;" we can almost grasp the greatness of the Word, but it is just out of focus. But we grasp something of the wonder of God's Word.
The disciples were privileged to behold wondrous things through the teaching of Jesus Christ, yet they still missed some of it. We can expect nothing more in our own lives. But still, we see and hear. Still, we open the Word of God and the Lord speaks to us. Still, we hear the preaching of God's Word and He directs us.
How blessed we are!
