Ep. 110 - Seeing is [for] Believing (Mar 19, 2023)


Listen Later

Jesus is in Jerusalem for the Feast of Tabernacles when He encounters a man who has been blind from birth. Forming clay from the ground to anoint the man’s eyes, Jesus then sends him to wash in the ritual pool of Siloam. Rich with meaning we’ll expound on the liturgical practices of the Feast of Tabernacles in order to elucidate Our Lord’s work and we’ll unpack the sacramental theme of John’s Gospel to show its connections to Baptism. Finally, we’ll look at the purpose of sight from a philosophical perspective in order to contrast the responses of the two parties.
In this episode discover:
- The Jewish feast that was being observed in Jerusalem at the time when Jesus heals the blind man
- The two liturgies which would have been celebrated in the Temple during Jesus’ visit and the way in which they shed light on Our Lord’s actions
- The religious purpose of the Pool of Siloam that makes it a fitting place for the blind man’s healing
- The seven point outline of John’s Gospel and how it connects our story to the sacrament of Baptism
- Why Jesus chose to heal the blind man with dirt from the ground and how it connects his healing to the creation of Adam
