Let There Be Light: What is Spiritual Sight?

“Anyone who has SEEN ME has SEEN the FATEHR”  -Jesus, John 14:9
 
We will never get closer to UNDERSTANDING God, then KNOWING Jesus.John 9:1-4

v.1 “As Jesus went along, He saw a MAN BLIND from birth. His disciples asked Him, Rabbi, WHO SINNED this man or his parents that he was born blind?”
 
“I tell you no, but unless you REPENT, you too will PERISH.”  Luke 13:5v.3 “Neither, this man nor his parents sinned, said Jesus, this happened so that the WORKS of GOD might be displayed in him.”
 
Sin in general causes suffering in GENERAL. But, SIN in particular does not necessarily cause suffering in PARTICULAR.
 
v.4 “As long as it is day, WE must do the works of him who sent me. Night is coming, when no one can work. ”
 
v.5 “While I am IN the world, I am the LIGHT of the world.”
 
v.16 “Some of the Pharisees said, This man is NOT from God, for he does not keep the SABBATH.”
 
Blindness is DARKNESS, but spiritual blindness is DEADNESS.

‘I didn’t see…I didn’t REALIZE’

Reality of SIN                       Reality of GRACE
 
v.25 “…One thing I do know. I was BLIND but now I SEE.”

One of the most powerful things about the ministry of Jesus is that He chose to heal ONE person at a time.

v.35 “Jesus heard that they had thrown him out, and when Jesus FOUND him, Jesus asked him, Do you BELIEVE in the SON of Man?
 
v.37 “Jesus said you have now SEEN Him; in fact He is the one speaking with you.”
 
v.38 “Then the man said, “Lord I believe, and he WORSHIPED Him.”
