MAYBE YOU NEED TO ADJUST YOUR VISION If a poll were taken to ask individuals which one of the five senses they would give up if forced to do so, I’m sure for most vision or sight would be the last on their list. Individuals can generally function fairly well without the benefit of taste, smell, touch or hearing; however, when natural vision is taken away, things tend to become a little more difficult.
Many today do not suffer from complete blindness, yet others simply suffer from vision impairments called farsightedness or nearsightedness. Therefore, in order for the farsighted or nearsighted person to see clearly, adjustments to their vision are made either by surgery or through the use of contact lenses and/or by putting on optical lenses (also known as glasses).
Our visual acuity or accuracy is measured in terms of how much light is allowed to pass through the eye. When the correct amount of light is not allowed to enter, this is when our vision becomes impaired. It is clear to see (no pun intended) that light is very important as it pertains to our vision.
Jesus also reminded us of light’s importance in JHN.8.12, “Jesus spoke to the people once more and said, “I am the light of the world. If you follow me, you won’t have to walk in darkness, because you will have the light that leads to life”” (New Living Translation).
When our vision is impaired, it would only seem logical for us to take the necessary steps to ensure this condition is corrected. Not only does corrected vision allow us to see more clearly close-up, but it also allows us to see with greater focus and clarity for what is to come ahead in the distance.
So it is with each of us in a spiritual sense, similar adjustments in vision become key and are often very crucial for those who profess faith in Jesus Christ who Himself declared that “He is the Light of the world;” because it is His light that allows us to see more clearly and gives us vision for the future that He has in store.
