It’s truly remarkable that people in Jesus’ time could distract themselves foreseeing and believing just how good and gracious God is in the deeds Jesus does. But they do as today’s narrative from the Fourth Gospel shows. And, unfortunately, it’s all too common for us human beings who can’t seethe wood for the trees. We miss the point all the time and e miss the point abut what god is offering us all theme! It’s a Gospel for Lent when we need to ask God to open our eyes every day and all day to see our lives and our world with the eyes of faith.
