Sermon
A note from Pastor regarding his sermon:
Just like our Gospel reading for last week, we see Jesus and the Holy Spirit at work in surprising places. Jesus gives sight to a man who was born blind – a man that Jesus’ disciples (and the rest of the community) imagined was blind because of some terrible sin that warranted that condition. But by the end of the story, this man sees Jesus Christ for who He truly is, and it turns out that the Pharisees who are offended at this development are really the ones who are blind.
