Blinded By Sin

Matthew 6:22 "The eye is the lamp of the body. If your eyes are good, your whole body will be full of light. 23 But if your eyes are bad, your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the light within you is darkness, how great is that darkness!"

I think sometimes we don't realize how much darkness we have within us. Our gaze has been tainted, our insight is blurred, and our perceptive is hazy. Why is this the case? Because of sin. Sin has been blocking our view and so we find ourselves unable to see straight for the plank within our own eyes.

Sin in the life of the Christian results in spiritual blindness. The problem is, the blind don't know they are blind. Many times, the blind feel so confident in their ability to see that they communicate with arrogance, self-centeredness and a spirit of judgmental condemnation. This is the trouble with blindness. Such a condition cannot respond accurately and with a clear understanding.

God calls us today to remove the sin from our lives. By casting out sin, we will see more clearly in our other relationships. Casting out sin results in light's exposure. Light's exposure is not to be feared, but is rather a joy to those who desire to walk in the truth.
