Luke 6:39-40, continued from yesterday, 1-10-2012
Though everything I wrote
yesterday is true and reasonable, it is not the point of the parable. When seen in its context, this parable is
explained by the next verse. In verse
40, Jesus declared the need for disciples to follow their teacher/Master, and
their goal is to be like their teacher (see also Matthew 10:24-25). The blind leading the blind refers to those
who try to discover truth, especially spiritual truth, apart from the One who
is the Truth.
I see many extensions of this parable
in the contemporary church and culture.
Some deny truth, some claim that truth is variable, some say they have
found truth, but the reality is that unless I follow Jesus until I am like Him,
I am among the blind ones.
Coram
deo
