Blind Spots (7 of 8)
Series: It's All About Jesus
Pastor Jeff Schreve
John 9:1-41
If you have your Bible, please turn to John chapter 9, John chapter 9. I want to talk to you about a message I've entitled, "Blind Spots."
Now, when I was in 10th grade, I started to have lots of trouble with my eyes. The squinting to see the chalkboard at school, it got harder and harder. And, finally, I was just like, "Man I can't see the TV well. And I'd better go to the eye doctor." So I went to the eye doctor. He said, "Man, your eyes are bad. You need glasses." I was like, "Yeah, but I don't want to wear glasses." You know, nerds wear glasses. I don't want to be a nerd and wear glasses. That's how I felt.

And he said, "What about contacts?" I said, "Okay, tell me about contacts." And so I got contacts.
I began to wear contacts every day from the time I was in 10th grade until I was in my late 30s. And then my eyes got worse and worse and worse. I got to where I couldn't read the big E on the eye chart. I'd wake up in the morning. I couldn't see the alarm clock. It was just blurry red you know, lights there. And I had a friend of mine. And he said to me, he said, "Jeff, I've noticed that you're starting to wear glasses again." I said, "Yeah, I'm getting all these eye infections. My contacts, I'm having some problems." And he said, "I had Lasik surgery done about a year ago." He said, "It made a big difference." He said, "I want you to get Lasik surgery and I'll pay for it." And he said, "And I don't care what it cost. Go find somebody good to do your Lasik surgery."
Now, if you've had Lasik surgery, or you're thinking about any kind of surgery with your eyes, you know you don't want to use the guy that has the ad that says, "Buy one, and get one f ...
