  John,
• 1:01
  the

  Gospel
• 1:02
  of
• 1:02
  John,
• 1:02
  Chapter

  from

  Blindness

  Walking
• 1:08
  down
• 1:08
  the
• 1:08
  street,
• 1:08
  Jesus
• 1:09
  saw
• 1:09
  a
• 1:09
  blind
• 1:10
  man
• 1:10
  from
• 1:10
  birth.
• 1:10
  And
• 1:11
  the
• 1:11
  disciples
• 1:11
  asked
• 1:12
  him,
• 1:12
  rabbi,
• 1:13
  who
• 1:13
  sinned
• 1:13
  this
• 1:14
  man
• 1:14
  or
• 1:14
  his
• 1:14
  parents
• 1:15
  who
• 1:16
  caused
• 1:16
  him
• 1:16
  to
• 1:16
  be
• 1:16
  born
• 1:17
  blind?
• 1:17
  Jesus
• 1:18
  said,
• 1:19
  you're
• 1:19
  asking
• 1:19
  the
• 1:19
  wrong
• 1:20
  question.
• 1:20
  You're
• 1:21
  looking
• 1:21
  for
• 1:21
  somebody
• 1:21
  to
• 1:21
  blame.
• 1:23
  There's
• 1:23
  no
• 1:23
  such
• 1:23
  cause
• 1:24
  effect
• 1:24
  here.
• 1:24
  Look
• 1:25
  instead
• 1:25
  for
• 1:25
  what
• 1:25
  God
• 1:26
  can
• 1:26
  do.
• 1:27
  We
• 1:27
  need
• 1:27
  to
• 1:27
  be
• 1:28
  energetically
• 1:28
  at
• 1:29
  work
• 1:29
  for
• 1:29
  the
• 1:29
  one
• 1:30
  who
• 1:30
  sent
• 1:31
  me
• 1:31
  here.
• 1:32
  Working
• 1:32
  while
• 1:33
  the
• 1:33
  sun
• 1:33
  shines,
• 1:34
  when
• 1:35
  night
• 1:35
  falls,
• 1:35
  the
• 1:35
  workday
• 1:36
  is
• 1:36
  over.
• 1:37
  For
• 1:37
  as
• 1:37
  long
• 1:37
  as
• 1:37
  I
• 1:37
  am
• 1:38
  in
• 1:38
  the
• 1:38
  world,
• 1:38
  there
• 1:39
  is
• 1:39
  plenty
• 1:39
  of
• 1:39
  light.
• 1:40
  I
• 1:40
  am
• 1:41
  the
• 1:41
  world's
• 1:41
  light.
• 1:43
  He
• 1:43
  said
• 1:43
  this
• 1:43
  and
• 1:44
  then
• 1:44
  he
• 1:44
  spit
• 1:44
  into
• 1:44
  the
• 1:45
  dust,
• 1:45
  made
• 1:46
  a
• 1:46
  clay
• 1:46
  paste
• 1:48
  with
• 1:48
  the
• 1:48
  saliva,
• 1:49
  rubbed
• 1:50
  the
• 1:50
  paste
• 1:50
  on
• 1:51
  the
• 1:51
  blind
• 1:51
  man's
• 1:52
  eyes
• 1:52
  and
• 1:52
  said,
• 1:53
  go
• 1:54
  wash
• 1:55
  at
• 1:55
  the
• 1:55
  pole
• 1:55
  of
• 1:56
  Siloam.
• 1:57
  Siloam
• 1:58
  means
• 1:59
  scent.
• 2:00
  The
• 2:00
  man
• 2:01
  went
• 2:01
  and
• 2:02
  washed
• 2:03
  and
• 2:03
  saw.
• 2:04
  Soon
• 2:04
  the
• 2:05
  town
• 2:05
  was
• 2:05
  buzzing.
• 2:05
  His
• 2:06
  relatives
• 2:06
  and
• 2:06
  those
• 2:07
  who
• 2:07
  year
• 2:08
  after
• 2:08
  year
• 2:08
  had
• 2:08
  seen
• 2:09
  him
• 2:09
  as
• 2:09
  a
• 2:09
  blind
• 2:09
  man
• 2:11
  begging
• 2:11
  were
• 2:11
  saying,
• 2:13
  why
• 2:13
  isn't
• 2:13
  this
• 2:13
  the
• 2:14
  man
• 2:14
  who
• 2:14
  we
• 2:14
  knew
• 2:15
  who
• 2:15
  sat
• 2:15
  here
• 2:15
  and
• 2:16
  begged?
• 2:17
  Others
• 2:17
  said,
• 2:17
  it's
• 2:18
  him
• 2:18
  all
• 2:18
  right.
• 2:20
  But
• 2:20
  others
• 2:20
  objected,
• 2:21
  it's
• 2:21
  not
• 2:22
  the
• 2:22
  same
• 2:22
  man
• 2:22
  at
• 2:23
  all.
• 2:24
  It
• 2:24
  looks
• 2:24
  just
• 2:24
  like
• 2:25
  him.
• 2:25
  He
• 2:26
  said,
• 2:26
  it's
• 2:26
  me,
• 2:27
  the
• 2:28
  very
• 2:28
  one.
• 2:28
  And
• 2:29
  they
• 2:29
  said,
• 2:29
  how
• 2:30
  did
• 2:30
  you
• 2:30
  get
• 2:30
  your
• 2:30
  eyes
• 2:31
  opened?
• 2:32
  A
• 2:33
  man
• 2:33
  named
• 2:33
  Jesus
• 2:33
  made
• 2:34
  a
• 2:34
  paste
• 2:34
  and
• 2:34
  rubbed
• 2:35
  it
• 2:35
  on
• 2:35
  my
• 2:35
  eyes
• 2:36
  and
• 2:36
  told
• 2:36
  me,
• 2:37
  go
• 2:37
  to
• 2:37
  Siloam
• 2:38
  and
• 2:38
  wash.
• 2:39
  I
• 2:39
  did
• 2:40
  what
• 2:40
  he
• 2:40
  said
• 2:40
  and
• 2:40
  when
• 2:41
  I
• 2:41
  washed
• 2:42
  I
• 2:42
  saw.
• 2:43
  So
• 2:44
  where
• 2:44
  is
• 2:44
  he?
• 2:44
  I
• 2:44
  don't
• 2:45
  know.
• 2:46
  They
• 2:46
  marched
• 2:46
  the
• 2:46
  man
• 2:47
  to
• 2:47
  the
• 2:47
  Pharisees.
• 2:48
  And
• 2:48
  this
• 2:48
  day,
• 2:49
  when
• 2:49
  Jesus
• 2:50
  made
• 2:50
  the
• 2:50
  paste
• 2:50
  and
• 2:51
  healed
• 2:51
  the
• 2:51
  blindness
• 2:51
  was
• 2:52
  the
• 2:52
  Sabbath.
• 2:53
  The
• 2:54
  Pharisees
• 2:54
  grilled
• 2:54
  him
• 2:55
  Again
• 2:55
  on
• 2:55
  how
• 2:55
  he
• 2:55
  had
• 2:56
  come
• 2:56
  to
• 2:56
  see.
• 2:57
  And
• 2:57
  he
• 2:57
  said,
• 2:59
  he
• 2:59
  put
• 2:59
  a
• 2:59
  clay
• 3:00
  paste
• 3:00
  on
• 3:00
  my
• 3:00
  eyes
• 3:00
  and
• 3:01
  I
• 3:01
  washed,
• 3:01
  and
• 3:01
  now
• 3:01
  I
• 3:02
  see.
• 3:03
  And
• 3:03
  some
• 3:03
  of
• 3:03
  the
• 3:03
  Pharisees
• 3:04
  said,
• 3:05
  obviously
• 3:05
  this
• 3:06
  man
• 3:06
  can't
• 3:07
  be
• 3:07
  from
• 3:07
  God.
• 3:08
  He
• 3:08
  doesn't
• 3:08
  keep
• 3:09
  the
• 3:09
  Sabbath.
• 3:10
  And
• 3:11
  others
• 3:11
  countered,
• 3:13
  how
• 3:13
  can
• 3:13
  a
• 3:14
  bad
• 3:14
  man
• 3:14
  do
• 3:14
  miraculous
• 3:15
  God
• 3:15
  revealing
• 3:15
  things
• 3:16
  like
• 3:16
  this?
• 3:17
  There
• 3:17
  was
• 3:17
  a
• 3:18
  split
• 3:18
  in
• 3:18
  their
• 3:18
  ranks.
• 3:20
  And
• 3:20
  they
• 3:20
  came
• 3:20
  back
• 3:20
  to
• 3:21
  the
• 3:21
  blind
• 3:21
  man.
• 3:22
  You're
• 3:23
  the
• 3:23
  expert.
• 3:24
  He
• 3:24
  opened
• 3:25
  your
• 3:25
  eyes.
• 3:27
  What
• 3:28
  do
• 3:28
  you
• 3:28
  say
• 3:28
  about
• 3:28
  him?
• 3:29
  And
• 3:29
  he
• 3:29
  said,
• 3:30
  he
• 3:31
  is
• 3:31
  a
• 3:31
  prophet.
• 3:32
  The
• 3:32
  Jews
• 3:33
  didn't
• 3:33
  believe
• 3:33
  it,
• 3:34
  didn't
• 3:35
  believe
• 3:35
  the
• 3:35
  man
• 3:35
  who
• 3:35
  was
• 3:36
  blind
• 3:36
  to
• 3:36
  begin
• 3:37
  with.
• 3:38
  So
• 3:38
  they
• 3:38
  called
• 3:38
  the
• 3:38
  parents
• 3:38
  of
• 3:39
  the
• 3:39
  man
• 3:39
  now
• 3:39
  bright
• 3:39
  eyed
• 3:40
  with
• 3:40
  sight.
• 3:41
  And
• 3:41
  they
• 3:41
  asked
• 3:41
  him,
• 3:41
  is
• 3:42
  this
• 3:42
  your
• 3:42
  son?
• 3:42
  The
• 3:42
  one
• 3:42
  you
• 3:43
  saved
• 3:43
  was
• 3:43
  born
• 3:43
  blind,
• 3:44
  so
• 3:45
  how
• 3:45
  is
• 3:45
  it
• 3:45
  that
• 3:45
  he
• 3:46
  now
• 3:46
  sees?
• 3:48
  His
• 3:48
  parents
• 3:48
  said,
• 3:49
  we
• 3:49
  know
• 3:49
  he
• 3:49
  is
• 3:49
  our
• 3:49
  son,
• 3:50
  and
• 3:50
  we
• 3:50
  know
• 3:50
  he
• 3:50
  was
• 3:50
  born
• 3:51
  blind,
• 3:51
  but
• 3:52
  we
• 3:52
  don't
• 3:52
  know
• 3:52
  how
• 3:52
  he
• 3:53
  came
• 3:53
  to
• 3:53
  see.
• 3:53
  Haven't
• 3:54
  a
• 3:54
  clue
• 3:55
  about
• 3:55
  who
• 3:55
  opened
• 3:56
  his
• 3:56
  eyes.
• 3:56
  Why
• 3:57
  don't
• 3:57
  you
• 3:57
  ask
• 3:57
  him?
• 3:58
  He's
• 3:58
  a
• 3:58
  grown
• 3:58
  man
• 3:59
  and
• 3:59
  can
• 3:59
  speak
• 3:59
  for
• 4:00
  himself.
• 4:01
  His
• 4:01
  parents
• 4:02
  were
• 4:02
  talking
• 4:02
  like
• 4:02
  this
• 4:03
  because
• 4:03
  they
• 4:03
  were
• 4:03
  intimidated
• 4:04
  by
• 4:04
  the
• 4:04
  Jewish
• 4:05
  leaders
• 4:06
  who
• 4:06
  had
• 4:06
  already
• 4:06
  decided
• 4:07
  that
• 4:07
  anyone
• 4:07
  who
• 4:07
  took
• 4:08
  a
• 4:08
  stand,
• 4:09
  that
• 4:09
  this
• 4:09
  was
• 4:09
  the
• 4:09
  Messiah,
• 4:10
  would
• 4:10
  be
• 4:10
  kicked
• 4:11
  out
• 4:11
  of
• 4:11
  the
• 4:11
  meeting
• 4:12
  place.
• 4:13
  That's
• 4:13
  why
• 4:13
  his
• 4:13
  parents
• 4:14
  had
• 4:14
  asked
• 4:14
  him,
• 4:14
  he's
• 4:15
  a
• 4:15
  grown
• 4:15
  man.
• 4:17
  And
• 4:17
  they
• 4:17
  called
• 4:17
  the
• 4:17
  man
• 4:18
  back
• 4:18
  a
• 4:18
  second
• 4:18
  time.
• 4:18
  And
• 4:19
  the
• 4:19
  man
• 4:19
  who
• 4:19
  had
• 4:19
  been
• 4:19
  blind
• 4:20
  had
• 4:21
  told
• 4:21
  him,
• 4:22
  give
• 4:22
  credit
• 4:22
  to
• 4:23
  God.
• 4:23
  We
• 4:24
  know
• 4:24
  this
• 4:24
  man
• 4:24
  is
• 4:25
  an
• 4:25
  imposter.
• 4:26
  And
• 4:26
  he
• 4:26
  replied,
• 4:28
  I
• 4:28
  know
• 4:29
  nothing
• 4:29
  about
• 4:29
  that
• 4:30
  one
• 4:30
  way
• 4:30
  or
• 4:30
  another.
• 4:31
  But
• 4:31
  I
• 4:31
  know
• 4:31
  one
• 4:32
  thing
• 4:32
  for
• 4:32
  sure.
• 4:32
  I
• 4:32
  was
• 4:32
  blind
• 4:34
  and
• 4:34
  now
• 4:34
  I
• 4:34
  see.
• 4:36
  They
• 4:37
  said,
• 4:37
  what
• 4:38
  did
• 4:38
  he
• 4:38
  do
• 4:38
  to
• 4:38
  you?
• 4:39
  How
• 4:39
  did
• 4:39
  he
• 4:39
  open
• 4:39
  your
• 4:40
  eyes?
• 4:40
  I've
• 4:41
  told
• 4:41
  you
• 4:41
  over
• 4:42
  and
• 4:42
  over
• 4:42
  again.
• 4:42
  You
• 4:42
  haven't
• 4:43
  listened.
• 4:44
  Why
• 4:44
  do
• 4:44
  you
• 4:44
  want
• 4:45
  to
• 4:45
  hear
• 4:45
  it
• 4:45
  again?
• 4:46
  Are
• 4:46
  you
• 4:46
  so
• 4:46
  eager
• 4:47
  to
• 4:47
  become
• 4:48
  his
• 4:48
  disciples?
• 4:50
  And
• 4:50
  with
• 4:50
  that,
• 4:50
  they
• 4:51
  jumped
• 4:51
  all
• 4:51
  over
• 4:51
  him.
• 4:51
  You
• 4:52
  might
• 4:53
  be
• 4:53
  a
• 4:53
  disciple
• 4:53
  of
• 4:54
  that
• 4:54
  man,
• 4:54
  but
• 4:54
  we're
• 4:55
  disciples
• 4:56
  of
• 4:56
  Moses.
• 4:56
  We
• 4:57
  know
• 4:57
  for
• 4:57
  sure
• 4:58
  that
• 4:58
  God
• 4:58
  spoke
• 4:59
  to
• 4:59
  Moses,
• 4:59
  but
• 4:59
  we
• 5:00
  have
• 5:00
  no
• 5:00
  idea
• 5:01
  where
• 5:01
  this
• 5:02
  man
• 5:02
  even
• 5:02
  comes
• 5:03
  from.
• 5:04
  And
• 5:04
  the
• 5:04
  man
• 5:04
  replied,
• 5:05
  this
• 5:05
  is
• 5:05
  amazing.
• 5:06
  You
• 5:07
  claim
• 5:07
  to
• 5:07
  know
• 5:07
  nothing
• 5:08
  about
• 5:08
  him,
• 5:08
  but
• 5:08
  the
• 5:08
  fact
• 5:09
  is
• 5:09
  he
• 5:09
  opened
• 5:09
  my
• 5:09
  eyes.
• 5:10
  It's
• 5:11
  well
• 5:11
  known
• 5:11
  that
• 5:11
  God
• 5:12
  isn't
• 5:12
  at
• 5:12
  the
• 5:12
  beck
• 5:12
  and
• 5:13
  call
• 5:13
  of
• 5:13
  sinners,
• 5:14
  but
• 5:14
  listens
• 5:15
  carefully
• 5:15
  to
• 5:15
  anyone
• 5:16
  who
• 5:16
  lives
• 5:16
  in
• 5:16
  reverence
• 5:17
  and
• 5:17
  does
• 5:18
  his
• 5:18
  will.
• 5:19
  That
• 5:20
  someone
• 5:20
  opened
• 5:20
  the
• 5:20
  eyes
• 5:21
  of
• 5:21
  a
• 5:21
  man
• 5:21
  born
• 5:21
  blind
• 5:22
  who
• 5:23
  has
• 5:23
  never
• 5:23
  been
• 5:23
  heard
• 5:24
  of,
• 5:24
  ever.
• 5:25
  If
• 5:25
  this
• 5:25
  man
• 5:26
  didn't
• 5:26
  come
• 5:26
  from
• 5:26
  God,
• 5:27
  he
• 5:27
  wouldn't
• 5:28
  be
• 5:28
  able
• 5:28
  to
• 5:28
  do
• 5:28
  anything.
• 5:29
  And
• 5:30
  they
• 5:30
  said,
• 5:31
  you're
• 5:31
  nothing
• 5:31
  but
• 5:32
  dirt.
• 5:32
  How
• 5:33
  dare
• 5:33
  you
• 5:33
  take
• 5:33
  that
• 5:33
  tone
• 5:34
  with
• 5:34
  us.
• 5:35
  Then
• 5:35
  they
• 5:35
  threw
• 5:35
  him
• 5:35
  out
• 5:36
  into
• 5:36
  the
• 5:36
  street.
• 5:38
  Jesus
• 5:38
  heard
• 5:39
  that
• 5:39
  they
• 5:39
  had
• 5:39
  thrown
• 5:39
  him
• 5:39
  out
• 5:40
  and
• 5:40
  went
• 5:40
  and
• 5:40
  found
• 5:40
  him.
• 5:41
  And
• 5:41
  he
• 5:41
  asked
• 5:41
  him,
• 5:42
  do
• 5:43
  you
• 5:43
  believe
• 5:43
  in
• 5:43
  the
• 5:43
  Son
• 5:43
  of
• 5:44
  Man?
• 5:45
  The
• 5:46
  man
• 5:46
  said,
• 5:46
  point
• 5:47
  him
• 5:47
  out
• 5:47
  to
• 5:47
  me,
• 5:47
  sir,
• 5:48
  so
• 5:48
  I
• 5:48
  can
• 5:48
  believe
• 5:48
  in
• 5:49
  him.
• 5:49
  And
• 5:50
  Jesus
• 5:50
  said,
• 5:51
  you're
• 5:51
  looking
• 5:51
  right
• 5:52
  at
• 5:52
  him.
• 5:52
  Don't
• 5:53
  you
• 5:53
  recognize
• 5:54
  my
• 5:54
  voice?
• 5:55
  Master,
• 5:56
  I
• 5:56
  believe,
• 5:57
  the
• 5:57
  man
• 5:57
  said,
• 5:57
  and
• 5:58
  worshiped
• 5:58
  him.
• 6:00
  Jesus
• 6:00
  then
• 6:00
  said,
• 6:00
  I
• 6:01
  have
• 6:01
  come
• 6:01
  into
• 6:01
  the
• 6:02
  world
• 6:02
  to
• 6:02
  bring
• 6:02
  everything
• 6:03
  into
• 6:03
  the
• 6:03
  clear
• 6:04
  light
• 6:04
  of
• 6:05
  day,
• 6:05
  making
• 6:06
  all
• 6:06
  the
• 6:06
  distinctions
• 6:07
  clear,
• 6:07
  so
• 6:08
  that
• 6:08
  those
• 6:08
  who
• 6:08
  have
• 6:09
  never
• 6:09
  been,
• 6:09
  who
• 6:10
  have
• 6:10
  never
• 6:10
  seen,
• 6:10
  will
• 6:11
  see.
• 6:11
  And
• 6:12
  those
• 6:12
  who
• 6:12
  have
• 6:12
  made
• 6:13
  a
• 6:13
  greater
• 6:13
  pretense
• 6:14
  of
• 6:14
  seeing
• 6:15
  will
• 6:15
  be
• 6:15
  exposed
• 6:16
  as
• 6:16
  blind.
• 6:18
  Some
• 6:18
  Pharisees
• 6:19
  overheard
• 6:19
  him
• 6:19
  and
• 6:19
  said,
• 6:19
  does
• 6:20
  that
• 6:20
  mean
• 6:20
  you're
• 6:20
  calling
• 6:21
  us
• 6:21
  blind?
• 6:23
  Jesus
• 6:23
  said,
• 6:24
  if
• 6:25
  you
• 6:25
  were
• 6:26
  really
• 6:26
  blind,
• 6:27
  you
• 6:27
  would
• 6:27
  be
• 6:28
  blameless.
• 6:29
  But
• 6:30
  since
• 6:30
  you
• 6:30
  claim
• 6:30
  to
• 6:30
  see
• 6:31
  everything
• 6:31
  so
• 6:31
  well,
• 6:32
  you
• 6:32
  are
• 6:32
  accountable
• 6:34
  for
• 6:34
  every
• 6:34
  fault
• 6:35
  and
• 6:35
  failure.
• 6:37
  Oh
• 6:38
  my
• 6:38
  goodness.
• 6:39
  What
• 6:39
  a
• 6:39
  powerful
• 6:41
  section
• 6:41
  of
• 6:41
  scripture
• 6:42
  about
• 6:42
  Jesus
• 6:43
  and
• 6:44
  the
• 6:44
  blind
• 6:44
  man
• 6:44
  at
• 6:44
  the
• 6:45
  Pole
• 6:45
  of
• 6:45
  Siloam
• 6:47
  and
• 6:47
  his
• 6:47
  encounters
• 6:48
  with
• 6:49
  the
• 6:50
  Jewish
• 6:50
  officials,
• 6:51
  the
• 6:51
  Pharisees.
• 6:52
  A
• 6:53
  lot
• 6:53
  of
• 6:53
  back
• 6:53
  and
• 6:53
  forth
• 6:53
  here.
• 6:54
  A
• 6:54
  lot
• 6:54
  of
• 6:54
  argumentation,
• 6:55
  a
• 6:55
  lot
• 6:56
  of
• 6:56
  threats,
• 6:58
  a
• 6:58
  lot
• 6:58
  of
• 6:59
  delight
• 7:00
  and
• 7:01
  a
• 7:01
  miracle
• 7:01
  happened.
• 7:03
  A
• 7:03
  lot
• 7:03
  of
• 7:03
  finger
• 7:04
  pointing.
• 7:05
  Let's
• 7:05
  unpack
• 7:05
  it
• 7:06
  a
• 7:06
  little
• 7:06
  bit
• 7:06
  with
• 7:06
  some
• 7:06
  points
• 7:06
  to
• 7:07
  ponder.
• 7:08
  The
• 7:09
  first
• 7:09
  is
• 7:09
  this.
• 7:09
  It's
• 7:09
  no
• 7:10
  blame.
• 7:10
  Faith
• 7:11
  disability
• 7:11
  isn't
• 7:12
  a
• 7:12
  moral
• 7:12
  failure.
• 7:13
  God's
• 7:13
  work
• 7:14
  looks
• 7:14
  like
• 7:14
  dignity
• 7:15
  and
• 7:15
  solidarity.
• 7:16
  The
• 7:16
  disciples
• 7:17
  wanted
• 7:17
  blame.
• 7:18
  Who
• 7:18
  sinned.
• 7:19
  Jesus
• 7:19
  rejects
• 7:20
  that
• 7:20
  framing.
• 7:21
  A
• 7:21
  progressive
• 7:22
  reading
• 7:22
  of
• 7:22
  this
• 7:22
  passage
• 7:23
  hears
• 7:23
  Jesus
• 7:24
  dismantling
• 7:25
  punitive
• 7:26
  theology.
• 7:27
  The
• 7:28
  man
• 7:28
  isn't
• 7:28
  a
• 7:28
  problem
• 7:30
  to
• 7:30
  explain.
• 7:30
  He's
• 7:31
  a
• 7:31
  person
• 7:31
  to
• 7:31
  honor.
• 7:33
  God's
• 7:33
  work
• 7:33
  isn't
• 7:34
  found
• 7:34
  in
• 7:34
  shaming
• 7:35
  or
• 7:36
  policing
• 7:36
  bodies.
• 7:37
  It
• 7:37
  shows
• 7:37
  up
• 7:37
  in
• 7:38
  ra,
• 7:38
  restoring
• 7:38
  community,
• 7:39
  confronting
• 7:40
  systems
• 7:40
  that
• 7:41
  exclude,
• 7:41
  and
• 7:41
  listening
• 7:42
  to
• 7:42
  lived
• 7:42
  experience.
• 7:44
  Notice
• 7:44
  how
• 7:44
  the
• 7:45
  neighbors
• 7:45
  and
• 7:45
  leaders
• 7:45
  debate
• 7:46
  him,
• 7:46
  deny
• 7:46
  his
• 7:47
  story
• 7:47
  and
• 7:47
  even
• 7:47
  throw
• 7:48
  him
• 7:48
  out.
• 7:49
  And
• 7:49
  Jesus
• 7:50
  seeks
• 7:50
  him
• 7:50
  out.
• 7:51
  That's
• 7:52
  the
• 7:52
  shape
• 7:52
  of
• 7:52
  grace.
• 7:53
  It
• 7:54
  moves
• 7:54
  toward
• 7:54
  those
• 7:55
  pushed
• 7:55
  into
• 7:56
  the
• 7:56
  margins.
• 7:58
  In
• 7:58
  my
• 7:58
  own
• 7:59
  life,
• 7:59
  I've
• 7:59
  been
• 7:59
  married
• 7:59
  to
• 8:00
  a
• 8:00
  wonderful
• 8:00
  woman
• 8:00
  for
• 8:00
  over
• 8:00
  34
• 8:01
  years.
• 8:02
  We've
• 8:02
  raised
• 8:02
  some
• 8:03
  wonderful
• 8:03
  adult
• 8:04
  children,
• 8:05
  have
• 8:05
  some
• 8:05
  great
• 8:06
  granddaughters,
• 8:06
  and
• 8:07
  they
• 8:07
  all
• 8:07
  are
• 8:07
  amazing
• 8:08
  people.
• 8:09
  And
• 8:09
  I've
• 8:09
  learned
• 8:10
  that
• 8:10
  love
• 8:10
  doesn't
• 8:10
  ask,
• 8:11
  who
• 8:11
  messed
• 8:11
  up.
• 8:12
  Love
• 8:12
  asks,
• 8:13
  how
• 8:13
  can
• 8:13
  I
• 8:13
  show
• 8:14
  up?
• 8:15
  And
• 8:15
  this
• 8:15
  posture
• 8:16
  matters.
• 8:17
  Especially
• 8:18
  when
• 8:18
  someone's
• 8:19
  health
• 8:20
  changes
• 8:20
  or
• 8:20
  situations
• 8:21
  changes
• 8:22
  or
• 8:22
  abilities
• 8:22
  differ.
• 8:23
  It's
• 8:23
  not
• 8:24
  about
• 8:24
  fixing
• 8:24
  people.
• 8:25
  It's
• 8:25
  about
• 8:25
  seeing
• 8:26
  people
• 8:27
  and

  access,

  care

  belonging.
• 8:30
  True
• 8:30
  sight
• 8:31
  is
• 8:31
  truth
• 8:32
  telling
• 8:32
  and
• 8:32
  courage,
• 8:33
  not
• 8:33
  religious
• 8:34
  smooth
• 8:34
  talk.
• 8:35
  The
• 8:35
  man's
• 8:36
  testimony
• 8:36
  is
• 8:36
  simple
• 8:37
  and
• 8:37
  brave.
• 8:37
  I
• 8:37
  was
• 8:37
  blind,
• 8:38
  now
• 8:38
  I
• 8:38
  see
• 8:39
  he
• 8:40
  won't
• 8:40
  be
• 8:40
  bullied
• 8:40
  into
• 8:41
  silence.
• 8:42
  And
• 8:42
  a
• 8:42
  progressive
• 8:43
  lens
• 8:43
  notices
• 8:44
  that
• 8:44
  Jesus
• 8:44
  exposes
• 8:45
  pretend
• 8:46
  sight,
• 8:47
  religious
• 8:47
  certainty
• 8:48
  that
• 8:48
  can't
• 8:48
  recognize
• 8:49
  God's
• 8:49
  work
• 8:50
  right
• 8:50
  under
• 8:50
  its
• 8:50
  nose.
• 8:51
  In
• 8:52
  our
• 8:52
  community's
• 8:52
  true
• 8:53
  sight
• 8:53
  looks
• 8:53
  like
• 8:53
  accountability,
• 8:54
  compassion
• 8:56
  and
• 8:56
  action.
• 8:56
  It
• 8:57
  resists
• 8:57
  gatekeeping
• 8:58
  and
• 8:58
  honors
• 8:58
  those
• 8:59
  long
• 8:59
  ignored.
• 9:00
  It
• 9:01
  asks
• 9:01
  who's
• 9:01
  been
• 9:01
  thrown
• 9:02
  out
• 9:02
  and
• 9:02
  how
• 9:03
  can
• 9:03
  we
• 9:03
  bring
• 9:03
  them
• 9:04
  back
• 9:05
  in.
• 9:06
  Let's
• 9:06
  talk
• 9:06
  about
• 9:07
  an
• 9:07
  action
• 9:07
  step
• 9:07
  today.
• 9:08
  Practice,
• 9:09
  see
• 9:09
  and
• 9:10
  serve
• 9:11
  with
• 9:11
  constant
• 9:12
  with
• 9:12
  consent
• 9:13
  and
• 9:13
  care.
• 9:14
  Identify
• 9:15
  one
• 9:15
  person
• 9:15
  who's
• 9:16
  been
• 9:16
  sidelined,
• 9:16
  someone
• 9:17
  with
• 9:17
  a
• 9:17
  disability
• 9:17
  or
• 9:18
  chronic
• 9:18
  illness
• 9:19
  or
• 9:19
  simply
• 9:20
  overlooked
• 9:20
  at
• 9:20
  work
• 9:21
  or
• 9:21
  church
• 9:21
  or
• 9:21
  your
• 9:21
  neighborhood
• 9:22
  and
• 9:22
  ask
• 9:23
  what
• 9:23
  would
• 9:23
  be
• 9:23
  helpful
• 9:24
  today.
• 9:25
  Then
• 9:25
  offer
• 9:26
  some
• 9:26
  concrete
• 9:27
  low
• 9:27
  fanfare
• 9:28
  act,
• 9:28
  a
• 9:29
  ride,
• 9:29
  a
• 9:30
  drink,
• 9:30
  a
• 9:30
  cup
• 9:31
  of
• 9:31
  coffee,
• 9:31
  a
• 9:31
  meal.
• 9:32
  Help
• 9:32
  them
• 9:32
  navigate
• 9:33
  some
• 9:33
  paperwork
• 9:34
  like
• 9:34
  insurance,
• 9:35
  or
• 9:36
  just
• 9:36
  10
• 9:36
  minutes
• 9:37
  of
• 9:37
  listening
• 9:37
  without
• 9:37
  fixing.
• 9:38
  Let
• 9:38
  the
• 9:39
  story
• 9:39
  lead
• 9:39
  you.
• 9:40
  Your

  role
• 9:41
  is

  presence

  That's

  What
