Eyes Opened

“Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened, and the ears of the deaf unstopped.” Isaiah 35:5

July 26, 2024

There is a new world coming. Long ago the prophet Isaiah spoke of a coming Messiah who will set everything right in nature and make everything right for the spiritually blinded and deaf. Israel needed to hear such a promise, living as she was with the harsh realities of being exiles from the land of promise and experiencing one failed king after another. In fulfillment of this promise, Jesus’ miracles were designed to show what He would do in the spiritual realm. These miracles were the credentials of the Messiah revealing His crown rights to rule over His kingdom on earth. However, spiritual blindness must be healed by repentance and faith in the Messiah. Jew and Gentile need this transformation. Only the new birth can remedy those who cannot see their need for Christ and bow before Him in adoration. How is your sight? Have your eyes been opened to see what it means to have new life in Christ?
