John 9.41 observes that because they say they can see their guilt remains.

In a couple of days the world will end according to some interpreters of Mayan prophecy. This end will occur by cataclysmic flood destroying the world.

When I first heard this some fifteen years ago I scoffed because God has clearly recorded in His Scripture that He will never again destroy the world by flood. Furthermore He told us when He lived with us in Jesus that the day and the hour when He will return to destroy this earth and to create a new heavens and a new earth is unknown to men.

I believed I could see the truth about this Mayan prophecy and that it was quite false.

However many people in Jesus’ day and even more today, think they see and know the truth about Him – that Jesus may have been a good moral teacher of religion but He was certainly not God nor is He the only means to heaven.

These people who can see that all religion is basically the same and really unnecessary for humanity are as smug in their belief as I about the Mayan prophecy.

However their blindness to the truth about God in Jesus will result in their condemnation for God will declare guilty all those who reject His appearing in Jesus as Savior.

From the beginning of human history man has sought after God and continues to do so on every continent among every people to this day. Yet God so loved the world that He wanted people to truly know Him and to worship Him for Who He really is and not how we created Him to be.

This knowledge of Who God really is was revealed by Jesus and recorded in the Bible so people could truly see and know the truth thereby having the capacity to love and obey God as He requires.

Unless we see God in Jesus we remain blind to God and ultimately condemned by God.
