标 题：被世界的神弄瞎心眼
经 节：此等不信之人被这世界的神弄瞎了心眼，不叫基督荣耀福音的光照着他们。基督本是神的像。（哥林多后书四章4节）
倘若你眼瞎，就算你周围的人可以清楚地看见，你还是无法看见东西的实体，无法完全经验周围真实的一面。你可能觉得自己的体验就是人生的全部，然而，你可能不知道自己正缺乏神要给你的经历。你可能因为浑然不觉自己的盲目，而处于险境之中。
保罗警告，“世界的神”会弄瞎你的心眼，使你看不见耶稣基督真实的本体。基督的出现能够使你的生命完全不同，但如果撒但使你对耶稣的应许生成怀疑，它会使你看不见自己生命的真实景况，与未来可能的发展。其他人可以看到你的不信造成你生命的盲点，你自己却看不到。你的生命可能持续地朝向灾祸前进，但是你却茫然不知。
神是你的光（约翰福音一：4、5、9）。祂光照你的罪，使你看到罪恶丑陋和毁灭的一面。祂显示祂自己，使你知道祂的荣耀及祂所赐的丰盛。祂的出现会照亮你的道路，使你看见眼前的危险。不要让这世界的神扭曲你的属灵视觉。不要以为事情本来就是这样，事实上，你正错失神在你身上的许多作为。恳求基督光照你的生命，让你清楚看见你属灵的真实景况。
Blinded by the God of This Age
Whose minds the god of this age has blinded, who do
not believe, lest the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the
image of God, should shine on them. (2 Corinthians 4:4)
When you are blinded, you cannot see things as they
really are, even though others around you see them clearly. You cannot
experience the full reality of all that is around you. You may feel you are
experiencing all that there is to life, yet you may be unaware that you are
missing what God desires for you. You may even be in danger because of your
blindness and not know it.
Paul warned that the “god of this age” can blind
you to the reality of Jesus Christ. Christ’s presence can make a significant
difference in your life. However, if Satan convinces you to doubt that Christ
can do what He promised, he will have blinded you to the reality of what your
life is really like and to what it could become. Others may see what your
unbelief causes you to miss, but you will be unaware of it. Your life may be
steadily moving toward disaster, but you will be oblivious to it.
Christ comes to you as light (John 1:4, 5, 9). He
illuminates your sin so that you see its ugliness and destructiveness. He
reveals Himself so that you can appreciate the glory of His person and the
marvelous riches He brings. His presence lights your path so that you can see
impending danger. Don’t let the god of this age distort your spiritual vision.
Don’t be fooled into thinking that everything is as it should be when, in fact,
you are missing out on so much that God wants to do in your life. Ask Christ to
illuminate your life and let you clearly see your spiritual condition.
