9:41 Jesus said to them, "If you were blind, you would have no sin; but now you say, ‘We see.’ Therefore your sin remains.
We are changed from carnal men to spiritual ones as Jesus is.
The beginning of the renewal is feeling that we are blind. Meaning we do not see the fault of others but ours. Realizing the sin, we must confess to God and other people. Being forgiven, we should not repeat it.
We also must feel that we are little, meaning we do not rely on anything in the world but Jesus, the Great Shepherd. We kneel before Him to fully surrender to Him, believe, and entrust our life to Him. We only cry His name and there is physical miracle for us. The blind can see and the merciful hand of God is able to make possible all impossible things.
Every step in our life is full of miracle in the guidance of the Great Shepherd through the true worship. It continues until we are changed to become as glorious as Jesus is when He comes a second time and we are exalted on glorious clouds. We see Him face to face.
