Here, at “The Power of the Cross”

There are those who would conclude that we live in an age when miracles have ceased, but I know that miracles abound—we just don’t recognize them. Even the world that we view through our perceptions is rather dark.

Those cured of physical blindness perceive the world as made of light and I believe that those cured of spiritual blindness also experience the world around them in the same new way. What before seem dark and hopeless suddenly becomes a path to glory. The Psalmist reflects this spiritual vision when he prays in perhaps the best known Psalm, “Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I fear no evil; for thou art with me,” (Psalm 23:4). The person filled with the Light perceives light no matter what, even if all light is extinguished.

In our own day there are surgeries of the eyes that help people to discard their glasses or contacts and to see clearly again. What we need is the spiritual surgery of the cross to restore our vision to see the world as God sees, to see everything as made of light.

Jesus warns that what can keep us from seeing is our inability to recognize that we are blind, we look at the evidence of God’s power but we refuse to see it or perhaps are incapable of seeing it due to the hardness of our hearts.
Lord Jesus touch our eyes that we might see!
