For judgment I have come into this world, so that the blind may see and those who see may become blind.

Those who think they see
After the healing of the man born blind, the problem wasn't the blind man, but the seeing leaders. They questioned the man, then his parents, then the man again. In the end they cast him out.
Then they asked Jesus: are we blind also? His answer: if ye were blind, ye should have no sin. But now ye say, We see; therefore your sin remaineth. The most dangerous thing isn't not knowing, but thinking you already know.
Question for today
Where do I think I already know?
Prayer
Lord, keep me from the blindness of those who think they see. Keep me humble and eager to learn. Amen.
