The term "flying blind" comes from the early days of aviation, when pilots couldn’t fly safely in fog, clouds, or darkness—they had to see the ground or risk crashing. In our text, we see the Sovereign King of the universe flying blind for us. Blindfolded, mocked, beaten, taunted, Jesus could have drawn on His divine power to see, know, and strike back. But He refused. He entrusted Himself to the Father’s plan, laying down His life willingly. 

When you’re flying blind in the fog of evil and injustice, take heart: the Sovereign King sees, reverses, and redeems. (Luke 22:63–71)
