"And the men who journeyed with him stood speechless, hearing a voice but seeing no one. Then Saul arose from the ground, and when his eyes were opened he saw no one. But they led him by the hand and brought him into Damascus. And he was three days without sight, and neither ate nor drank."
Acts 9:7-9
Saul had a revelation of Jesus and his spiritual eyes were opened, but he was blinded to the world around him. His cortege heard Jesus speak but did not see Him, and they still had their physical sight. There are those who hear the words of Jesus and have physical sight, but remain spiritually blind. And there are those who are blind physically but have had a revelation of Jesus, like Fanny Crosby who was blind and who wrote so many beloved hymns, like "Near The Cross." It is not enough for a person to hear the words of Jesus, even though faith comes by hearing the Word of God (Romans 10:17). Seeing Jesus spiritually only comes by revelation. As the chorus says, "Open my eyes, Lord, I want to see Jesus." Having spiritual sight is more important than having physical sight.
Today's Thought: A person can hear the words of Jesus and still remain spiritually blind.
Have an eye-opening day. Love you.
