The sin of willful blindness
Scripture: Zephaniah 1-3, John 9
John 9:39 Jesus said, “I came into this world for judgment, in order that those who do not see will see and those who do see will become blind.”
John 9:41 “If you were blind,” Jesus told them, “you wouldn’t have sin. But now that you say, ‘We see,’ your sin remains.”
Observation
The Jewish religious leaders thought they saw (understood) but were blind. Their minds were made up and they refused to accept new evidence or information that might change their minds. They quizzed the blind man twice and his parents once, at first refusing to believe that the man had actually been blind. When they couldn’t deny the miracle, they questioned its source: Jesus could not be from God since He healed on the Sabbath. He must be a sinner. No amount of evidence or simple logic would convince them otherwise. They were obstinate in their unbelief—blind, though they thought they saw.
The chapter ends with these stinging words of Jesus. He came to make the blind see—not only physically, but spiritually as well. But those who refuse to believe will remain blind. The real sin is being hard-hearted: thinking you can see when you can’t, refusing to believe when the evidence is staring you in the face. It’s willful blindness.
