Gradual insights
John 9.1-41Jesus gives sight to a man born blind, who comes to ‘see’ Jesus for who he truly is. But Jesus’ critics refuse to see as the healed man sees: even his parents are wary. But their attitude reveals a more sinister kind of blindness.
How often do we find ourselves saying ‘I see’ when we really mean ‘I understand’? In today’s Gospel reading the contrast between them is clear: we read about overcoming physical blindness and also growing in understanding. But not everyone experiences or is open to both. Are we?
This week we explore the power of an eye-opening story.
