Bible Answer:
Bible Texts:
Job 17:4 KJV
For thou hast hid their heart from
understanding..."
Job 17:4 NLT
You have closed their minds to
understanding..."
Luke 10:21 KJV
In that hour Jesus rejoiced in
Spirit, and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord Of Heaven And Earth,
that thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast
revealed them unto babes: even so, Father; for so it seemed good in
thy sight.
II Corinthians 4:3-6 KJV
3 But if our gospel be hid, it is
hid to them that are lost:
4 In whom the god of this world hath
blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest The Light of
the glorious gospel of Christ, who is The Image of God, should shine
unto them.
5 For we preach not ourselves, but
Christ Jesus The Lord; and ourselves your servants for Jesus' sake.
6 For God, who commanded The Light
to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give
The Light of the knowledge of the
glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.
Ephesians 4:18
KJV
Having the understanding darkened,
being alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is in
them, because of the blindness of their heart:
I John 2:10,11
KJV
10 He that loveth his brother
abideth in The Light, and there is none occasion of stumbling in him.
11 But he that hateth his brother is
in darkness, and walketh in darkness, and knoweth not whither he
goeth, because that darkness hath blinded his eyes.
Masses of people
today have “Spiritual Blindness.”
Many do not want to
know The Truth, or to come to The Lord to be saved.
John 3:14-21 KJV
14 And as Moses lifted up the
serpent in the wilderness, even so must The Son Of Man be lifted up:
15 That whosoever believeth in Him
should not perish, but have eternal life.
16 For God so loved the world, that
He gave His Only Begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should
not perish, but have everlasting life.
17 For God sent not His Son into the
world to condemn the world; but that the world through Him might be
saved.
18 He that believeth on Him is not
condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he
hath not believed in the name of The Only Begotten Son Of God.
19 And this is the condemnation,
that Light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than
Light, because their deeds were evil.
20 For every one that doeth evil
hateth The Light, neither cometh to The Light, lest his deeds should
be reproved.
21 But he that doeth Truth cometh to
the Light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought
in God.
Someone long ago
has said, and how true, The Bible is a book, which cannot be
understood, unless you know its Author.
The Author is The
Lord Jesus Christ, and the Bible is all about, Him.
When an individual,
accepts The Lord Jesus Christ into his heart and life, He takes up
residence within that life, and His Spirit teaches us what His Word
says, and means.
John 14:6 KJV
Jesus saith unto him, I am The Way,
The Truth, and The Life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by Me.
The Christ
Rejecting World:
I Corinthians
1:18-25 KJV
18 For the preaching of the cross is
to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is
the power of God.
19 For it is written, I will destroy
the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding
of the prudent.
20 Where is the wise? where is the
scribe? where is the disputer of this world? hath not God made
foolish the wisdom of this world?
21 For after that in the wisdom of
God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the
foolishness of preaching to save them that believe.
22 For the Jews require a sign, and
the Greeks seek after wisdom:
23 But we preach Christ crucified,
unto the Jews a stumbling block, and unto the Greeks foolishness;
24 But unto them which are called,
both Jews and Greeks, Christ The Power Of God, And The Wisdom Of God.
25 Because the foolishness of God is
wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men.
I Corinthians
2:14 KJV
But the natural man receiveth not
the things of The Spirit Of God: for they are foolishness unto him:
neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.
Spiritual Sight,
Comes From The Lord:
Psalm 146:8 KJV
The Lord
openeth the eyes of the blind: The Lord raiseth them that are bowed
down: The Lord loveth the righteous:
Isaiah 42:16 KJV
And I will
bring the blind by a way that they knew not; I will lead them in
paths that they have not known: I will make darkness Light before
them, and crooked things Straight. These things will I do unto them,
and not forsake them.
Luke 4:18 KJV
The Spirit Of
The Lord is upon Me, because He hath anointed Me to preach the gospel
to the poor; He hath sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach
deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to
set at liberty them that are bruised,
Colossians
1:12,13 KJV
12 Giving
thanks unto The Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of
the inheritance of the saints in Light:
13 Who hath
delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into
the kingdom of His dear Son:
Dear friend, do you know The Savior? He loves you so much, He took
your place in judgment.
Turn to Him today, and you will have your eyes opened to The Truth!
John 9:20-27 CEV
20 The man’s
parents answered, “We are certain that he is our son, and we know
that he was born blind. 21 But we don’t know how he got his sight
or who gave it to him. Ask him! He is old enough to speak for
himself.”
22-23 The man’s
parents said this because they were afraid of the Jewish leaders. The
leaders had already agreed that no one was to have anything to do
with anyone who said Jesus was The Messiah.
24 The leaders
called the man back and said, “Swear by God to tell The Truth!..."
25 The man
replied...All I know is that I used to be blind, but now I can see!”
