Spiritual blindness

John 9 describes the story of how Jesus healed a blind man on the Sabbath.  The Pharisees refused to believe, claiming that Jesus was a sinner for he healed the man on the Sabbath.  Jesus then taught about spiritual blindness.  This story still applies in our day.  So many refuse to hear the glad tidings of the restoration of the gospel because of spiritual blindness.  They act exactly like the Pharisees of old, even saying many of the same things. John 9 is worth reading and applying to today's situation.
