Pulling the Wool From Our Eyes
About this episode
The episode discusses how Paul reveals the truth about sin in Romans, encouraging listeners to seek mercy and grace from Jesus Christ.
When someone tries to deceive us and blind us from seeing the truth of the situation, they’re described as “pulling the wool over our eyes.” Here in Romans, Paul pulls back the wool back from our eyes, “in order that” as he puts it “sin might be recognized as sin.” Instead of trying to convince ourselves sin isn’t that big a deal, we flee for refuge to His infinite mercy, seeking and imploring His grace for the sake of our Lord Jesus Christ.
