Are we blind too?

Mar 15, 2026    Pastor Joel Heald

The story of Jesus healing a man born blind reveals how our assumptions can blind us to God's incredible work. While the disciples saw a theological problem to solve, Jesus saw an opportunity for God's glory. The neighbors, parents, and religious leaders all resisted the miracle because it didn't fit their expectations. We often draw boundaries smaller than God's circles, writing off people we assume God isn't interested in. The most dangerous blindness isn't physical but spiritual - being so certain of our categories that we can't see God working outside them. Like the healed man, our testimony is simple: I was blind, but now I see.
