Seeing the Unseen: Confronting Spiritual Blindness #1975

Seeing the Unseen: Confronting Spiritual Blindness In the realm where light and darkness blend, Where sight is more than eyes could ever mend, He walked among us, a bearer of unseen truths, Declaring vision where there was nothing to prove. “I have come,” He spoke, “that the blind might see, And those with eyes might blindfolded be.” A paradox wrapped in the folds of grace, Where seeing leads to a hidden, shadowed place. The proud in spirit, with eyes wide open, Claiming sight, their truth unbroken, Yet in their gaze, no light resides, Empty halls behind their confident strides. But bless the humble, the sightless who plead For vision from Him, they truly need. Acknowledging darkness within their gaze, They are led to the dawn of enlightened days. "Are we also blind?" the learned did contest, Met by the Savior’s quiet behest: “If blindness you claimed, no guilt would hold, But you see, you say, and in this, you are bold.” Thus, sin remains in the certainty of sight, For those unyielding to the coming Light. A warning profound in simplicity, The blind who see, the seers who cannot see. So ponder now, where does your vision lie? Are you blind to yourself, under the open sky? For the path to true sight begins at night, In admitting our blindness, we step towards the light. -Steven G. Lee (June 26, 2024)
