Blinded by the World

Jesus ministered from sunup to sunset. As soon as he raised the girl from the dead, he healed two blind men. As soon as they left people brought him a man who was mute and demon-possessed. Jesus cast out the demon and the man spoke. The multitude marveled at all that Jesus was doing (Mt 9:27-33.”

But the Pharisees were unimpressed. No man had done as many miracles as Jesus did (John 7:30-31). Yet these religious leaders were more concerned about losing their positions than recognizing the Messiah when he came. They accused him saying, “He casts our demons by the ruler of demons.’

If we love the world, we also will not recognize the works that Jesus is doing in our lives.
