New Eyes

What Eyes Are You Using? A lack of vision can be dangerous, especially when it comes to how we see God, ourselves and our world. Thankfully, we’ve been given the gift of sight because Jesus gives us “New Eyes.” 1) Lack of vision has been a problem ever since Adam and Eve took the fruit that “looked pleasing to the eye” rather than listening to God. 2) It’s important to recognize that we live in a world of blindness and blurred vision. a. Sometimes things that start off with right intentions, become misunderstood and misapplied and can actually blur our vision. b. Our selfish ambitions can prevent us to seeing what is right in front of us. 3) Instead of talking about all the blindness out there, Christ would have us be honest about ways we’ve acted blindly. 4) Jesus gave a blind man the ability to see with His physical eyes. But they greatest miracle given to Him was the eyes of faith. 5) We get to leave the blindness behind and see what we know to be true. When we live by the light of Jesus it’s then that we can be His lights in the world! 1.10.21 Message from Cottage Grove Pastor Nate Abrahamson
