AMPLIFIED 2015 | 1 Corinthians 13:12 For now [in this time of imperfection] we see in a mirror dimly [a blurred reflection, a riddle, an enigma], but then [when the time of perfection comes we will see reality] face to face. Now I know in part [just in fragments], but then I will know fully, just as I have been fully known [by God]. |
Subject: Would you please give scripture evidence |
Bible Note: I have often wondered why those that were closest to our Lord didn't recognize Him. One reason could be that in those days men often wore their cloaks over their heads and it was not always easy to see the face unless looking directly into the man's face. It's possible that Jesus walked up along side the men on the road and watching His steps He never faced them. As for the others, perhaps He came up to them as they were crying. Often times people won't look up to see someone who's talking to them because they don't want anyone to see them crying. Maybe the tears blurred their vision. There are all kinds of reasons. I never thought about it as being a spiritual blindness but perhaps a little more study might make it clearer for me. ...God bless .....Pixie |
