Exposition
He also
told them a parable: “Can a blind man lead a blind man? Will they not both fall
into a pit? – Jesus Christ was asking a question of the Pharisees who were
blinded by pride and prejudice, can they lead anyone without leading them into
a pit? In our lives today, there is no running away from what Jesus Christ was
teaching because if it is not heeded the result will be disaster.
There are important
questions you should ask yourself. Who are you following and why are you
following? Is your leader leading you
right and leading you into light or are you being led towards a pit? Are you
being encouraged to love and pursue the things of this world rather than things
that will last forever?
A blind leader is a
disaster waiting to happen and a leader that is blinding you is a greater
disaster. Do not allow the command of English, worldly logic or any worldly
effects to dazzle you. The Scriptures teach in 1 John 4:1 that you should not believe all spirits but you should test
all spirits to see whether they are from God. It is your responsibility to
compare what you hear or what is happening around you with what is stated in
the Bible. Sentiments have no place in your decision. Run away where the two do
not align.
Jesus Christ is the light
of the world. He is the One who will not lead any astray. He is the good
shepherd. Jesus is the Word of God. It is beautiful to note that according to Psalm 119: 105 , the word is a light
unto our feet and light unto our path. Your choosing to follow Jesus is the only
way to spend eternity in heaven. Heaven is real, so also is hell. Make the
right choice today.
Prayer
I do not want to
end up in a ditch or in hell. Lord help me to make the right choices. I pray
that greed and pride will have no place in me in Jesus name. Let me not follow
any that is an agent of satan. Lead me heavenly Father, lead me. Let my inner
mind be sensitive to the Holy Spirit in Jesus name. Amen.
