Are we blind?

 by David Long

"And Jesus said, "For judgment I have come into this world, that those who do not see may see, and that those who see may be made blind." Then some of the Pharisees who were with Him heard these words, and said to Him, "Are we blind also?" Jesus said to them, "If you were blind, you would have no sin; but now you say, 'We see.' Therefore your sin remains" (John 9:39-41). 

Their sins remained because they were unwilling to repent. In their minds they didn't think that they needed to repent. They claimed that they could "see." But they were really blind, spiritually speaking. How true of many today. Jesus was not talking about their physical condition but their spiritual condition.
