Learning to See
Is it true we can only see what we are looking at? What causes us to be blind to certain things?
The text this week delves into the story of Jesus, a blind man, and spiritual blindness. In John's gospel, Jesus' mystagogic teachings challenge us to see the unseen all around us, (i.e., the Spirit, the kingdom of God, etc.). When we see with divine sight, we see the Spirit's presence in our lives and in the Christlike potential of others and our world. (This is, without a doubt, easier said than done!)
But what if a living faith is about learning to see in this manner?
Join the conversation
on Sunday
, as we prepare for the resurrection event in our lives.
With hopeful anticipation,
Shea
