John 9:35-41, Pride Blocked

 “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.” 

Some of the Pharisees who were with him heard these things and asked him, “We aren’t blind too, are we?” 

“If you were blind,” Jesus told them, “you wouldn’t have sin. But now that you say, ‘We see,’ your sin remains.”

‭‭John‬ ‭9‬:‭39‬-‭41‬ ‭CSB‬‬

Read Context

The Pharisees pride makes them fall and miss the overall message.  So prideful, they didn’t for one moment reflect on what Jesus was saying…to consider how this may be true, but rather instantly were filled with confidence that they had nothing to confess.  Their unwillingness to reflect was the very thing that condemned them.

Lord, open my ears and eyes to see where my pride is blocking me from being transformed.  I want to be Yours in every part of my life!
