Who is Jesus #30 (Savior Cont.)

Some needed saving from their blindness. There are those who wanted deliverance from demons who possessed their spirits. There were times Jesus saved lives from storms. A woman had been bleeding forever and he saved her from that malady. He saved a tax collector from a life that would continue to cheat people and extort money.
"He will save His people from their sins," (Matthew 1:21).
I may not understand how he saved the people mentioned above from their particular conditions or situations, but it is described for us in the book. It is pretty straight forward?
But, how about this "sin" thing? What is the deal, here? Is that harder than salvation from physical things? Is it just as straight forward as the physical?
Is there or can there be spiritual blindness? Does/can the prince of demons dwell in my heart? Is there a "storm of sin" in my life that needs quieting? Am I bleeding internally because of the spiritual sickness that is inside of me? How does the Savior take care of this mess?
Must explore this further.
Be Strong and Courageous,
L.T.
