Evening: Psalm 35; John 9:1-17
The
Bible’s stories are many-layered. The healing of a blind man points
beyond the miracle to the kind of world Jesus ushers in. The blind
receive their sight, but sighted people are still so blind that they get
distracted by arguments about the sabbath. Jesus’s point is that he
wants even them to see that what’s really important is a world where all
are awake. To be ‘blind’ is to be asleep, to live unconsciously,
serving false ideals that dehumanize others. To receive your sight is
to wake up, smell the coffee, and get busy with the work of healing.
