Deep dives

Spiritual Sight and Blindness

The concept of spiritual sight versus blindness is a recurring theme throughout biblical texts, particularly evident in the Gospel of Matthew. Jesus often interacts with blind individuals, presenting a stark contrast to those who can see but lack true understanding. This motif suggests that societal perceptions of capability can be misleading, as true insight often lies with those seemingly disadvantaged. This idea is further explored through the apostle Paul's experiences, hinting that his own struggles may have stemmed from physical limitations, leading to a deeper spiritual clarity.
