The light of the world brings sight to the blind and judgment to the blinded. Faith
means seeing Jesus as Savior: like the bronze serpent, we look on him and live (Verse
of the Day). We were born in the blindness of sin, and without the light of Christ we
could not find a way to safety. Christ comes to shine his light into our darkened eyes
that we might see him and live. Yet for those who refuse to see their Savior in Christ,
the blindness of unbelief remains. He gives gracious sight to the blind who trust in
him; he gives blinding judgment on those who reject him; finally, he displays the work
of God in the lives of those who now walk in the light of Christ.
