The Bible teaches that each of us is blind until God, in Christ, makes us see. But how can that be, when our physical sight remains intact? Examining the story of the blind beggar in Luke 18, Alistair Begg calls us to acknowledge our own inability to truly see our sinful state. It is only when God reveals to us the hopelessness of our spiritual condition that we are confronted with our need for Christ.
35sAs he drew near to Jericho, ta blind man was sitting by the roadside begging. 36And hearing a crowd going by, he inquired what this meant. 37They told him, u“Jesus of Nazareth is passing by.” 38And he cried out, “Jesus, vSon of David, have mercy on me!” 39And those who were in front wrebuked him, telling him to be silent. But he cried out all the more, “Son of David, have mercy on me!” 40And Jesus stopped and commanded him to be brought to him. And when he came near, he asked him, 41x“What do you want me to do for you?” He said, “Lord, let me recover my sight.” 42And Jesus said to him, “Recover your sight; yyour faith has zmade you well.”
