S – Some of the Pharisees who were with him heard these things and asked him, “We aren’t blind too, are we?” “If you were blind,” Jesus told them, “you wouldn’t have sin. But now that you say, ‘We see,’ your sin remains.

John 9:40–41 CSB

O – Commentary:

Jesus answered that those who claim to hold all religious truth will discover that they are blind, while those who recognize their spiritual poverty will find true sight. In the story, the blind man and his family frequently confessed that they did not know, while the Pharisees repeatedly stated their confidence and remained guilty because of their religious pride. If they had confessed their ignorance and admitted their spiritual blindness, they would be guiltless. Instead, their conscious and willful rejection of Jesus established their guilt

A – Any pride in our life is bad.  Religious pride is “knowing” God’s Word or truths and remaining in the guilt of the sin.  The things we don’t know are not hurting us as much as the things we do know.  We need humility in our lives to live out all that God has revealed to us.

R – Heavenly Father, we surrender and worship to you today.  There is still so much that we ask that you reveal to us.  Yet, what we do know, we are accountable for today.  We invite your Holy Spirit to lead us into all truth and walk it out in alignment with Your Word.
