Blessed Are The Eyes That See

Luke 10:23
23Then he turned to his disciples and said privately, "Blessed are the eyes that see what you see.

Many heard the prophesies about Jesus hundreds of years before his physical birth. Many longed to see the work he would do while walking along the earth. But it was the privilege of the disciples to see with their own eyes the work of Jesus. For those that heard the prophesies about Jesus, it took a level of vision to even remotely conceive of the things done in His ministry. It was indeed an honor for the disciples to be eyewitnesses but it was also an honor for those who learned under the sound of His voice. Those from hundreds of years prior did not understand the voice of Jesus. Vision is important, not just from a literal sense but from a spiritual sense. While Jesus is working, if one is plagued with spiritual blindness, how can they see? The Pharisees were witnesses of Jesus' work yet they still did not see.  According to Merriam-Webster's Dictionary, vision is something seen otherwise than by ordinary sight and also the act or power of seeing:sight. The word power is used for it takes power to see beyond ordinary sight. And it is this very act that is indeed a gift within itself. So to be able to use one gift to appreciate another, which is Jesus....WOW! Jesus taught thousands at a time throughout His physical ministry. So many could see the miracles and listen to His voice. But we have this privilege as well. Not from the same physical sense but with the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is the gift imparted by Him. We can hear it and it also gives us the power of vision. There are many still plagued with spiritual blindness but "blessed are the eyes that see."
