Matthew 9:27-31 ~ The Need for the Healing of Spiritual Blindness

Excerpt:

The natural man cannot understand the spiritual things of God. But the spiritual man, the one who has the Holy Spirit, discerns and understands all things because the things of God are spiritually understood.

We see this when Jesus was talking to Nicodemus. Here is Nicodemus, the head religious teacher of Israel, and Jesus says to him, "Unless you are born again, you cannot see the kingdom of heaven." Many people think that means to go to heaven. No, it does not. Jesus is saying, "Nicodemus, you are the religious leader, but you cannot spiritually see the kingdom of God. It is standing right in your midst. It is moving right in your midst, and you can not even see it. You are spiritually blind."
