We all have blind spots---areas of our lives that need to be uncovered so we can see correctly and make necessary changes. Others can see them in us and point them out but the reality is even then we have a hard time recognizing them.
Historically, one blind spot Christians had was slavery. How could Christians who supposedly believed the gospels so easily rationalize owning and enslaving human beings? How could folks who attended church services every week, read their bible and justify treating fellow human beings as property to be used and abused?
None of us are immune to such blindness. We all must be on watch and ready to change.
