Jesus said He came to give sight to the spiritually blind (“ I am the light of the world” in John 8:12). God draws people to Himself through Jesus (John 6:44). God wants them to see that light, and He is available to anyone who wants Him. Most don’t even know they’re blind until they see a light illuminating the way to something more beautiful than what they’ve ever known. In their blindness, they are groping along the walls to find their way to the door that will give them purpose in life. There are a lot of blind people walking around. The god of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers, so that they cannot see the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God. If you work through our Ephesians Bible Study, you will see how bad living in darkness really is. But they are people living in the darkness, as blind people live. We expect them to act like people who live in the light. The Misery of Living in Darknessįor those of us who have been Christians for a long time, we can forget or not realize how dark it is for those who don’t know Jesus, who haven’t experienced His wonderful light. In this blog, we will look at Exodus 19 to see what God wanted from them and what He wants from us as well.

But first Israel needed to know the light herself.

That’s what we are called to do: Be light-bearers to those who are spiritually blind in our world. And He uses us as a flashlight or glowworm to lead others to Him. But our God wants to rescue everyone from that darkness and bring people into His wonderful light. The Bible teaches that every human is born into the kingdom of darkness as though being born blind. Physical darkness is scary, but so is spiritual darkness. When the lights are turned off, some caves have glowworms on the ceiling that provide unexpected light like tiny stars. Do you use a flashlight or candles so you and your family can see again? Another dark setting is in a cave. Have you been in a really dark setting? Maybe it is your house at night when the power is out after a storm.
