In this Lenten sermon on John 9, we encounter Jesus Christ as the Light of the World who opens blind eyes. In this powerful Gospel account, Jesus heals the man born blind, revealing both the depth of human spiritual blindness and the life-giving power of Christ’s grace. This sermon explores how John 9 exposes the temptation to trust our own spiritual sight while calling us instead to cling to the saving work of Jesus.

From a confessional Lutheran perspective (LCMS), this message proclaims the clear distinction between Law and Gospel. The Law exposes the blindness of sin that afflicts every person by nature, while the Gospel reveals Christ as the Light who seeks, heals, and restores sinners. Just as Jesus pursued the healed man after he was cast out, Christ continues to seek His people today through Word and Sacrament—Holy Baptism, Absolution, and the Lord’s Supper.

If you struggle with doubt, temptation, or spiritual darkness, this sermon points you to the one sure anchor: Jesus Christ who gives sight to the blind and faith to those who cannot see.
