—John 9:35-41
by: Kennedy Ochs.
Is it not always the case that those who claim to be perfect are the ones who are actually furthest from perfect? Throughout Jesus’ time on earth, He constantly exposed the most “religious” (the Pharisees and experts in the Law) as the ones who had the farthest to go in order to be righteous in God’s eyes. And contrary to what the Pharisees were saying, it was the outcasts of the society, the bottom, who were closest to the truth. All that is required in order to be saved is to recognize the truth. But the pride of the Pharisees hardened their hearts to what was right in front of them.
