A new way of seeing

Morning: Psalm 31; Jeremiah 24:1-10; Romans 9:19-33

Evening: Psalm 35; John 9:1-17

Art is a way of seeing unclouded by expectations of the way things ought to look. Your brain thinks, ‘I know what faces look like’, so it does not see the uniqueness of this particular face. The man born blind brings no assumptions to his view of Jesus - once blind, now he can see: Jesus is ‘a prophet’. The Pharisees’ assumptions make them blind. Jesus introduces a new way of seeing that heals blindness and brings new understanding. His Way often shows that those who think they understand things best (‘Pharisees’ ancient and modern) actually know very little.
