'He has blinded their eyes
and understand with their heart and turn—
and I would heal them.’
Isaiah said this because he saw his glory and spoke about him.
Has there been a time in your life where you felt that you had your eyes blinded or your heart hardened? Maybe you were walking downtown and there was a homeless person on the street with his hat out and you walked right on by. Or could it have been when your neighbor asked you to help him move and you made up an excuse so you didn’t have to take time out of your day to help another person.
I know there have been times in my life where my eyes were blinded and my heart hardened. It’s not easy to admit that we are human and these things happen. But that’s the point, we are human and without Jesus we don’t stand a chance.
Jesus wants us to understand that when we turn to him he will heal us as well as open our eyes and soften our heart that we may see his glory.
Maybe it’s time we all trust in Jesus and we will see his glory that Isaiah talked about.
