service and fellowship and sharing the love of Christ with all.

In John 9, Jesus encounters a man who has been blind since birth and restores his sight. At first glance, it appears to be a story about physical healing. Yet as the story unfolds, it becomes clear that something deeper is taking place. The man who once lived in darkness begins not only to see the world around him but also to see more clearly who Jesus is. When the Pharisees question him about Jesus, the man responds with growing conviction: “He is a prophet.”
While the religious leaders argue about rules and struggle to explain what has happened, the man who was once blind grows in awareness and confidence. Step by step, he learns to see differently. His journey reminds us that faith itself is often a process of learning to see - learning to recognize God’s presence and work in places we might not expect.
During this season of Lent, we are invited to reflect on our own vision as well. Are there ways we fail to see the grace of God around us? Are there people or situations we overlook or misunderstand? The story of the man born blind invites us to open our hearts to the light of Christ, who continues to heal, reveal, and guide us.
Like the man in the story, we too are learning to see - seeing God at work in our lives, seeing one another with compassion, and seeing the world through the transforming light of Christ.
