Christ said: For judgment I am come into this world, that they who see not, may see: very encouraging and comforting to those who, conscious of their ignorance, weakness, and corruptions wait with perseverance on God in prayer, to be taught His saving and sanctifying truth. Becoming as little children, they will go on and enter into the kingdom of Heaven. Are we such? Do we from our hearts cry: Enliven me, and I shall keep Thy words; upon Thou my eyes, and I will consider the wondrous things of Thy law: if I have erred, teach Thou me. Such shall be taught of God: for the Lord is sweet and righteous; therefore will He give a law to sinners in the way: He will guide the mild in judgment: He will teach the meek His ways. But Christ added: That they who see, might become blind. This is, indeed, an intimation of judgment to those who despise religion and the truths of holy scripture, as beneath their care and study; who never pray for the Holy Spirit, and think they can find the way to Heaven by themselves, by their own wit and wisdom. They become blind; and if they keep in such presumption and repent not, final spiritual blindness will settle on them. Let us be poor in spirit, little in our own eyes. God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble. He turns from those who are wise in their own conceit, but to them that have no might, He increaseth strength.
