DESCRIPTION

Glasses can make an amazing difference - transforming our sight from blurry, confused and stressful to crisp, clear and effortless. Jesus also talks about seeing properly in the Bible and actually healed people who were born blind. However, as spectacles were developed after the Bible was finished, it's "salve" that the apostle John encourages the church of Laodicea to put on their eyes, so they will not be blind. John and Jesus are talking about spiritual sight. As we read and apply the Bible, we will find its truths illuminating our lives, enabling us to clearly distinguish good from evil. The Scriptures are the best pair of glasses for viewing our world that could ever be imagined!
