Acts 9:18

 

 And immediately something like scales fell from his eyes, and his sight was restored. Then he got up and was baptized.

 

This is the story of the conversion of Saul (a persecutor of Christians ) to Paul (a great Christian preacher and leader). He was on the road to Damascus getting ready to harass, arrest, and possibly kill some more Christians. A bright light from heaven knocked him off his donkey and blinded him. Meanwhile, a voice from heaven (the voice of Jesus) called out to him.

 

And then the scales fell from his eyes and he could see. In Paul's case this was literal. But when have the scales fallen from your eyes metaphorically, and you've finally been able to see? When have you seen the truth that you couldn't see before? When have you seen the path out of a problem that didn't seem to have a solution?

 

When the scales fall from your eyes, the only response is to give thanks to God for the grace of sight.
