John 9:39-41
39 And Jesus said, “For judgment I have come into this world, that those who do not see may see, and that those who see may be made blind.” 40 Then some of the Pharisees who were with Him heard these words, and said to Him, “Are we blind also?” 41 Jesus said to them, “If you were blind, you would have no sin; but now you say, ‘We see.’ Therefore your sin remains.
Jesus came not only to save but also to judge the world - He gives sight, but also leaves those blind who in their own power and wisdom claim to see. Such pride of claiming to see apart from God enabling the sight is spiritual blindness that keeps sin in. The humility of faith acknowledges inability to see unless sight is first given, and allows grace to heal our souls.
