Topic:
Blindness
We do not like to feel guilty. Feeling guilt is a bad feeling. We are afraid of
feeling guilt. Often our fear of guilt is the reason we do not want to talk about sin and
the reason we are not set free. How could we not see the obvious when it comes to our sin
and our feeling guilty? How could we be in church all our lives and not see what Jesus
wants us to do? Jesus wants us to surrender our sin to Him and be free of our guilt. He
died so our sin could be washed away. Most of us know this as a fact. But how many of us
have truly given our sin to him? Christ died so the terrible yoke of sin could be lifted
now, while we are still alive.
1 Peter 3:18 "For Christ died for sins once for all, the righteous for the
unrighteous, to bring you to God. He was put to death in the body, but made alive by the
spirit." (NIV)
How could so many who know the fact have missed the point of actually surrendering? How
could most of the world have missed it? If He taketh away the sin of the world we must ask
when is our sin taken away? Our sin is taken away when we see what our sin is. When we see
what our sin condition is and we reach out to Christ, our sin begins to die.
John 12:24 "I tell you the truth, unless a kernel of wheat falls to the ground
and dies, it remains only a simple seed. But if it dies, it produces many seeds."
(NIV)
Our condition is such that the phone is ringing. We know Jesus is calling, we know
without a doubt he is calling, but we are so blinded by our sin we do not have the vision
to see Christ on the Cross and therefore we do not answer His call upon our heart.
