Born blind, a man experiences the power of Christ’s healing love…only to be interrogated by the religious elites of his day.  His personal experience of the Lord and his unyielding defense of Jesus (even before he knew his face) are beautiful examples of the life of faith to which we’re all called.  Using the metaphor of mud, we will examine the earthly (dirt) and spiritual (water/saliva) dimensions of this story as it applies to our own struggles of faith. Profound in its theology and humorous in its composition, this chapter stands as a timeless (and timely) reminder of the Lord’s eagerness to open our eyes to the blindness that afflicts even those with sight. “Blinded by Blame” based on the scripture from John 9:1-12.
