Starting in John 9 we sit by the Pool of Siloam and remember that Jesus opened our blind eyes at salvation, but how quickly they can dim. As Revelation 3:17 reminds us we need to avoid spiritual cataracts caused by the infectious materialistic world we all live in. Avoid the lust for comfort and convenience; and watch out for the greed for recognition; and finally get rid of all coveting for security. All of these dim our eyes and must be avoided if we want to see Christ clearly.
