It is so important for us to open our hearts and change, this is what will open our eyes to see and we will be able to truly know Jesus as Lord and Savior.
In chapter 8 verse 51 Jesus says, “I tell you the truth, anyone who obeys my teaching will never die!”
When we accept Jesus into our hearts and we realize that we have to change we begin to grow then our sight is through our hearts and the things of this world don’t cloud our vision.
In chapter 9 verse 40 it says, “Some of the Pharisees who were standing nearby heard him and asked, ‘Are you saying we’re blind?” Then in verse 41 He says, “If you were blind, you wouldn’t be guilty, Jesus replied. But you remain guilty because you claim you can see.”
How many of us claim we can see, but are so clouded by what we love in this world? There is so much more to our walk with Jesus than just knowing Him. He asks us if we love Him why, don’t we obey Him. We are told not to love this world, yet we struggle every day to satisfy our own pleasures. When we truly accept Him and there is a change of our hearts we can begin to see and feel what Jesus is talking about in God’s word. We will desire to learn and grow to be like Him and we will be consumed with wanting more wisdom. Nothing will be more important than doing God’s will and learning all we can to be a true disciple, which takes effort on our part.
John chapter 15 verse 8 says, “When you produce much fruit, you are my true disciples. This brings great glory to my Father.”
Our walk is not for ourselves it’s for others, we need to learn, grow and share opening our hearts and eyes so we can see. Amen
