Blessed Eyes that See!

Spiritual blindness stops us all from seeing the Gospel and our salvation. It was foretold that Jesus would have the power to restore physical sight, which was a sign of His power to save and to open blind spiritual eyes also.

Jesus Himself compares spiritual blindness with the inability to see physical things, but praise God, He makes His loved ones to see Christ and see His gospel!

Jesus assures us that all who see Him are blessed indeed. This is not a complement to us, but rather an acknowledgment of God's grace toward us, for blind men cannot simply choose to see, but instead depend upon a Healer to open their eyes!

Not only so, but Jesus pointed out the physical blessing that His disciples had to be able to finally see Him, their Messiah, with their own eyes. Many righteous saints of old had desired to see Him, but could not because of the place and time of their lives.

The disciples who trusted in Jesus had a double blessing: they could clearly see the Gospel through blessed spiritual eyes, and they could literally see Him with their own eyes.

When our spiritual eyes are opened, our perception increases progressively. Paul prayed for the Ephesian saints to receive enlightenment for their eyes so that they might see the riches of the glory of God's grace toward them through Jesus Christ, to understand their inheritance in Him, and how He saved them, and the mighty power God worked in them through Christ's resurrection, and how He raised them up and made them alive in Jesus, and provided them faith to be saved, and how He would reveal more and more throughout eternity to them!

The veil that the law places over our eyes is done away in Christ!
