Sight
What
is sight in the Word?
There are two different definitions of “sight” in the Word;
Sight as in seeing and spiritual perception.
As
Christians we must focus our sight on Jesus always.
Our
sight must be focused on Jesus not the sight of the world.
We
must learn from the wonderful sight of God.
We
must do what’s right in the sight of the Lord.
Of
course there were miracles of restored sight in a blind person.
