36-40Jesus said all this, and then went into hiding. All these God-signs he had given them and they still didn't get it, still wouldn't trust him. This proved that the prophet Isaiah was right:
God, who believed what we preached?
Who recognized God's arm, outstretched and ready to act?
First they wouldn't believe, then they couldn't—again, just as Isaiah said:
Their eyes are blinded,
their hearts are hardened,
So that they wouldn't see with their eyes
and perceive with their hearts,
And turn to me, God,
so I could heal them. (The Message)

Some thoughts to ponder and share with others:
- When you think about stories of blindness in the Bible what comes to mind?
- Is blindness always permanent in the Bible? If not how does someone gain their sight?
- Can you think of a time when you couldn't see something that was clearly in front of you? Why did you not see it?
- What can you do to keep your eyes open to see the working of God more easily?
