Jesus the Light of the World


Monday, March 19 – Read John 9:1-41

The argument with the religious leaders continues and deepens as John tells the story of Jesus healing a man who was born blind. Since the healing was done on a Sabbath, the leaders are particularly disturbed. They question the man’s parents and the man himself. While they accuse the man of being born in sin and punished by God with blindness, the man speaks up boldly for Jesus: No one has ever opened the eyes of a man born blind. If he were not from God, he could do nothing!” The question is, “Who is blind and who can see? And do we look with physical or with spiritual eyes?”

Reflection Question: Where do you see Jesus in the world today?

Prayer: Dear God, open the eyes of my heart and my soul, that I might recognize Jesus at work. Amen.
