Blind Spot

Blind Spot

The practical definition of a blind spot is simply, “something you don’t see.”

 It’s often quite painful when a blind spot is exposed to us. If fact, it can cause us grief. At least that’s been my experience. But once it’s been exposed and dealt with, the result can be quite life changing.

 In this week’s Gospel reading, Jesus lovingly exposes a major blind spot in an exceptionally successful, powerful, and moral young man—just one thing that’s holding him back (though admittedly, it’s a big one).

 But sadly, while its exposure does grieve him, it doesn’t change him.

 See you Sunday,
