Our paragraph topic is: (Their distorted religion) Part 4.
He called them blind guides. They were the leaders of the church, the leaders of the people, the religious guides at the time. Yet Christ said that they were blind guides not knowing where they were going, where they were leading the people. He said that they traveled miles to make a convert only to make that person a son of hell.
What kind of leaders would do that? What kind of spiritual leaders would convert a soul to hell instead of heaven? Yet that was the leadership present at the time of Christ and he wanted the people to know who they were following. He wanted his disciples to know the kind of men that they would replace because he called this leadership: "You blind fools!"
They were not blind in the physical sense. They could see with their eyes. But their minds could not interpret what their eyes saw and their ears could not understand what was being spoken by what they heard and thus they were deceived. And thus they were blind fools in total denial of what was happening around them. The world was in the process of change. The people where changing due to the excitement of the mood and the mist of change. But the fools could not see it, they could not hear it, they could not understand it because they were in their own world apart from the rest.
Will this be the same today? Will the coming of the Lord be a subtle change that we who are expecting him only know? Will the excitement of his coming be in the air, on our minds, in our thoughts that others will not be able to see or understand because they are blinded by the world around them no matter how much we try to show them. Will it all be too late for them? Will our leaders be blind guides telling the people not to worry, not to be concerned? Will they listen to the blind guides or listen to their hearts and turn to the Lord for their answers?
Christ came and gave us new life. We were dead but he renewed our sentence, paid our penance, and gave us new life. Today we have a choice to have life in him. We have a choice to be with him for eternity. We have a choice to be fulfilled. Today we have a choice to live.
