Jesus vs the religious leaders
John 9:
Jesus explains that he has come so those not seeing might see and those seeing might become blind!
- Some of the Pharisees ask him if they are blind!
- Jesus answers saying that if they were blind, they would have no sin!
- They say they see so their sin remains!
- Jesus is clear, the religious leaders are blind because of their attitude and their pride (we can say the same of kings)!
- They don’t want to listen!
- They prefer to defend their own interest!
- They are condemned!
- No way to escape their judgment!
- Their guilt is doubled because they mislead the people who follow them!
- So many bad examples!
- They are deaf and blind!
- They will never understand!
- It is a condition of mind and heart!
- It is necessary to learn how to do it!
- It is not natural!
- Moreover, in this world, being deaf and blind is a protection against superficiality!
- Thus depending on the time, we must learn how to see and hear with more accuracy, or close our eyes and ears!
- Flexibility is required!
- Learn the appropriate times to use our senses with more efficiency!
- But we must not waste them for nothing!
- And in this world there are plenty of opportunities!
- The more we use them for nothing, the more we lose them!
- That’s why we must be extremely cautious!
