Religion is a Blindfold

The eyes of man are blindfolded by his religion and won't allow him to see Jesus as the True Messiah. Deeply held religion misses Jesus and because it begins and is led by a man and not the Spirit who is God. Even after Jesus was grown and had begun His ministry, with all the incredible miracles attesting to He was, the pious religion of Judaism, who knew the Bible like the back of their hand didn't see Him for who He was. Yet, Simeon, in the temple recognized Jesus as the Savior of the World when He was brought to the temple to be cirucumcised at just eight days old!
