Why are some church people spiritually blind (John 9:1-41)? Many outside the church choose to remain blind because they either believe it is irrelevant or because they are afraid. Yet when those in the church are spiritually blind, the tragedy is enormous. There are perhaps a number of things which could blind us to the work of God in others. Denominationalism is that form of narrow mindedness that believes only our denomination has it all right. Divisive doctrines blind us to those teachings upon which all Christians agree and actually unite. Man-made traditions, which are non-essentials, blind us to the essentials of the faith. How do we gain spiritual vision? Perhaps, like the man in the story we just need to keep it simple. One thing I know. I was blind but Jesus touched me and now I see.
