Summary
The Cross of Christ Illumines. . .Blindness
The-CrossSteps to Take as You Follow Christ
Ask—What would it be like to see everything in God’s light?
Seek—Observe the world, expecting to see God at work in it. Put skepticism aside and ask God to enlighten your vision!
Knock—Meditate on John 9:39–41.

Has your belief in God been tainted by your nationality, your politics, your upbringing? What blinders might God remove from you to help you to see more clearly his will for you?
blinders might God remove from you to help you to see more clearly his will for you?
Transform Your Life—Be open to the healing of Christ. Never presume that what Jesus has to offer is only for someone else. Allow the cross of Christ to enlighten the path you walk daily, transforming all of your experiences in God’s light.
