Our enemy will do everything he can to prevent people from seeing Jesus and experience his love and grace. He will cause them to believe lies. He will attempt to prevent them from believing the truth. He will distract people by causing them to focus on other things, rather than the gospel.
Main Points:
1. In the darkness of sin and the isolation of a relationship with God, our Heavenly Father wants to let his light shine. His light wants to remove our darkness so we can see the glory of Jesus and the joy of knowing Him.
2. This spiritual blindness explains why people, many of whom we know and love, have not responded to the gospel. This explains why they have rejected Christ. They simply cannot see.
3. Thankfully, there is still hope. This is why Jesus came. Luke 4:18 - God sent Jesus to bring “deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind.” This is not just referring to the healing of physical blindness, but more importantly, the healing of the “spiritual blindness” that everyone has apart from Christ.
