John 9:1-41
“This ancient story should sound even more disruptive to us now that we are in the grip of a global pandemic that is shutting the world’s systems down. Now that the filters we were still clinging to are gone, the filters that obscured our vulnerability or our capacity to do harm and our interdependence are gone. This story is not a cautionary tale about seeing Jesus clearly, it is a moral imperative about waking up to who we are in a world that will never be the same—God help us not be the same when this is all over.”
