The Blind Leading the Blind

Jesus asked, "Can a blind person guide a blind person?  Will not both fall into a pit? (Lk 6:39).  He continued, reminding his hearers of the speck in the eye vs. the beam, and the fruit of the tree revealing its worth.  When we look at ourselves, we seek weakness, blindness and beams, yet we can't be discouraged by them. No one is exempt from them; despite them and with we become more effective disciples for we deal with one another on an equal level. We proceed forward in humility and understanding of the complexity of our weakened human nature, and thus can have more effect than if we approached others from a "better-than-thou" stance. When we turn to Jesus for strength, sight and guidance, and receive it as who we are, real, genuine and credible people, we can be effective guides and inspirations to others.
