Evening: Psalm 37:19-42; John 9:1-17
Ingrained in our culture is an old idea that goes something like this: Good things are rewards for good deeds, and bad things are punishments for misdeeds. Jesus debunks that. A man was born blind not because anyone did anything wrong … It’s that the Creation is still in process. In reality, this is a chaotic world. God is bringing order and light, a New Creation, out of that chaos … Those once blind may now see. John’s Gospel insists that if we ourselves want to ‘see’ this New Creation, built by God’s grace, we must look to Jesus.
