Evening: Psalms 124, 125, 126: John 9:18-41
Why do people hang on to mistaken convictions no matter what the evidence? For instance, thoughtful people deny climate change even when Canada’s Arctic is warming three times faster than the rest of the world. Why? Or, in Jesus’s story, religious leaders – of all people – doubt that God has intervened to heal the blind man. Is it fear that drives people to ‘absolute certainty’ against evidence to the contrary? I suppose sometimes we just can’t see the wood for the trees ... Or if fear blinds us, maybe Jesus can help us find courage to admit our mistakes?
