A dear friend of mind recently had a cataract operation,a cataract is a clouding of the lens of the eye, he mentioned the tremendous improvement in his sight.He could see things so much better,sight is a very precious gift.Our Saviour healed the blind ,it is hard to take it in how they must have felt.Now there is another type of blindness that is spiritual blindness,our Saviour called the religious leaders blind guides Matthew 23 v19.and speaking of the non-Christian the apostle Pual writes that they walk in the futility of their mind,having their understanding darkened,being alienated from the life of God , because of the ignorance that is them, and the blindness of their hearts',John Newton wrote that he was once blind ,but now he could see.When Christ becomes your Saviour,you see things with new sight and new understanding ,George Robinson wrote ,'Heaven above is softer blue,earth around is sweeter green something lives in every hue Christless eyes have never seen; birds with gladder songs o'erflow,flowers with deeper beauties shine,since I know as now I know, I am His and He is mine' Yes when Christ becomes our Saviour we see things change.We see Christ as he truly is, we see the importance of obeying God,we see the importance of walking in newness of life, we see that God's will must always take first place in our lives.
'I once was blind but now I see'
