Blindness

John 9:3         New English Translation

3 Jesus answered, “Neither this man nor his parents sinned, but he was born blind so that the acts of God may be revealed through what happens to him.

 

Blindness

 

If a man is born blind, who is then the sinner?

Maybe spiritual blindness is more an apparent cause?

Yes, for sure, since this seems to affect us all

Most of the folks we meet think they are seeing

But what is in their view and vision

Is not that what I’m talking about after all?

 

To see what we want to see may keep many blind.

Is blindness more than a choice or an inherited condition?

Like talking through a voice, maybe words a sounding

But that is not a voice, but just a part of a disposition
