Restoring Spiritual Sight

The entrance of Your words gives light; it gives understanding to the simple. - Psalm 119:130


Sanduk Ruit is a Nepalese doctor who has used his scalpel, microscope, and simplified cataract surgery techinique to give sight to almost 70,000 people over the past 23 years. The poorest patients who visit his nonprofit eye center in Katmandy pay with just their gratitude.

Our Lord Jesus Christ healed many of physical blindness during His time on earth. But of greater concern to Him were the spiritually blind. Many of the religious authorities who investigated the healing of the blind man refused to believe that Jesus was not a sinner (John 9:13-34). This caused Jesus to say, "For judgement I have come into this world, that those who do not see may see, and that those who see may be made blind" (v. 39).

The apostle Paul wrote of this spiritual blindness when he said, "If our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing, whose minds the god of this age has blinded, who do not believe, lest the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine on them" (2 Cor. 4:3-4).

The psalmist said, "Te entrance of Your words gives light" (Ps. 119:130). God's Word is what will open our eyes and cure spiritual blindness. - C. P. Hia



Come to the Light, 'tis shining for thee!
Sweetly the Light has dawned upon me,
Once I was blind, but now I can see -
The Light of the world is Jesus. - Bliss

A world in darkness needs the light of Jesus.

John 9:1-11

As he passed by, he saw a man blind from birth. His disciples asked him, "Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?"

Jesus answered, "Neither did this man sin, nor his parrnts; but, that the works of God might be revealed in him. I must work the works of him who sent me, while it is day. The night is coming, when no one can work. While I am in the world, I am the light of the world."

When he has said this, he spat on the ground, made mud with the saliva, anointed the blind man's eyes with the mud, and said to him, "Go, wash in the pool of Siloam". So he went away, washed, and came back seeing.

The neighbours therefore, and those who saw that he was blind before, said, "Isn't this he who sat and begged?" Others were saying, "It is he." Still others were saying, "He looks like him." He said, "I am he."

They therefore were asking him, "How were your eyes opened?" He answered, "A man called Jesus made mud, anointed my eyes, and said to me, 'Go to the pool of Siloam, and wash.' So I went away and washed, and I received sight."
