Matthew 15:14 “Let them alone: they be blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch.”
The world is full of religions, religions of all sorts and religions of all doctrine. The radios, televisions, internet, and every street corner are full of powerful, inspiring, great philosophy teacher who knows absolutely nothing about God or salvation. This is called the blind leading the blind and everyone on the train is going to derail and end-up in hell together, wondering what went wrong. Those that are truly saved are not religionist they are Christians, our faith is not built on a religious experience or a religious doctrine. Christianity is built upon a man, the man Christ Jesus. Our faith is in Christ, that His death, burial, and resurrection, all according to the scriptures is enough to save us and His glorious blood is pure enough to cleanse all our sins not leaving one single sin un-cleansed. As far as the blind leading the blind the Lord said to “Let them alone…” they have no desire to repent of being led astray, they will be happy until they all fall into the ditch (or hell) together. That is right they are blind, they might have big congregations, fancy buildings, lots of money, and the most powerful educations, but they do not have the Holy Spirit in their hearts nor does the biblical truth fall from their lip. If the people who are leading are blind, and the people who follow are blind then who sees where they are going, they will not know until they feel the heat of the eternal flame. We cannot change them and if God does not change them then they are not going to be changed. I must ask, what is salvation, where is it found, in a doctrine, religion, no not at all; it is found only in Jesus Christ and in none other. The scriptures have concluded this in John 5:39 "Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me." Why don’t they testify of works, baptism, or anything else? Because they are not the Saviour, Christ Jesus is. Only the blind would testify of anything else because a saved person would be embarrassed to say it is found in anyone or anything else. The world of religion is large, powerful, rich, and blind and it will all fall together into the lake of fire. I do not believe anything we can do will change them, just as a sinner loves to drink sin like water the lost loves to hear the blind. Abraham told the rich man who wanted one to return from the dead so his brother would believe in Luke 16:31 "And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead." Now understand what was just said, they would not believe even if one was raised from the dead, He did, it was Christ Jesus and they believe their blind leaders over the Son of God. God said in 1 Timothy 6:5 “Perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, supposing that gain is godliness: from such withdraw thyself.” supposing that gain is godliness, supposing that gain is godliness, that’s right supposing that gain is godliness, works will never save one lost person, ever. I wished there was more I could do, as a Pastor of a church and a minister of the gospel of Christ I surely do wished they would hear the simple truth but only God can change their sight and cause them to see, lead them to grass and water, and keep them from following the blind into the eternal fire of hell. But there is one thing we can do and that is keep witnessing the truth and praying for them, it will not change them but God hears our pleads
