On the Fourth Sunday in Lent, The Rev. Jerry Gallagher reflects on the Gospel story of the man born blind and the life-changing encounter that restored his sight. What began as a miracle quickly became a challenge to the assumptions and fears of those around him, reminding us how often God’s grace disrupts the expectations we try to impose on the world.

Drawing connections to other encounters in John’s Gospel — Nicodemus seeking truth and the Samaritan woman discovering new life — Rev. Gallagher reminds us that Jesus consistently reaches across boundaries with compassion and love. In every encounter, Jesus reveals a deeper truth: that we are all deeply loved by God and invited into the abundant life he offers.
