Sermon 04-03-01 "As He Is"

Today we examine the “pieces” that cloud our view of Jesus. Many pieces get in the way of our spiritual vision, and can even cause blindness. John’s gospel sets forth a very stubborn segment of people known as the Pharisees (9:13). While they had two good eyes, Jesus called them blind (9:41). And it turns out that the man who had dysfunctional eyes was the one who could actually see (9:39). So we rest on the mercy of God to show us Jesus, lest we too be considered blind. In Lent, we focus our eyes on the cross, illuminated by a sacrificial death. And we humbly ask, “Lord, we want to see Jesus.”
