Help Lead the Blind

S - Scripture     

Matthew 15 v. 13- 14  He replied, "Every plant that my heavenly Father has not planted will be pulled up by the roots. Let them alone; they are blind guides,.. And if a blind man leads a blind man, both will fall into a pit.

O - Observation    

Grass roots. Jesus uses the analogy of a blind man to describe the world that does not see Jesus. Leaders of this world, informal or formal, that do not follow God’s word will end up hurt. Along with those that follow them. As “seeing” people, what are we to do with the “blind” people? Jesus tells us here to go of grass roots. Let them alone. We need to focus on the “blind” followers. They will follow who ever is leading them. We need to show them the safe way in life. The only way in life – Jesus. Inherently, followers are more open to God’s wisdom, since they are following to begin with.  This gets back to sharing the Good news one person at a time – via relationships. We simply need to lead them to Jesus. This approach is a bottom up approach to the blind leaders of the world.  

A - Application  

Am I helping the “blind” to follow a safe path to Jesus?       

P - Prayer      

Jesus, Help me to be a guide for the blind.  Love Will.
