“Pinauwi ni Hesus ang lalaking pinagaling sa pagsasabing, ‘Huwag ka nang babalik sa nayon.’” -Mark 8:26
One of the origins of spiritual debility is too much time in the ‘village.’ Jesus the healer and judge has to lead us blind people out of the city and give us sight—and then strictly enjoin us not to return to the blinding ways of the village.
We unfortunate village dwellers must, through the power of Christ, put on the mind of Christ. And then we must live in a new town, the community of love and justice that is the Church. It is this city of vision that effectively challenges (and judges) the enduring power of the blinding society.
