Was blind, but now, I see

Blindness to the gospel is an awful thing. I'm currently reading John Piper's "When I don't desire God, the fight for Joy" and encountered the reference of II Corinthians 4:3-6 and was reminded of the words from "Amazing Grace."

And even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled only to those who are perishing. In their case the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelievers, to keep them from seeing the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God. For what we proclaim is not ourselves, but Jesus Christ as Lord, with ourselves as your servants for Jesus' sake. For God, who said, "Let light shine out of darkness," has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.
(2 Corinthians 4:3-6 ESV)

Heh. See, God rocks!
