Lent 4 - March 15, 2026
from Peace Lutheran Sermon Podcast Hosted by Pastor Travis Wilson
Most of his life, people talked about him instead of talking to him. They would stand nearby and whisper. Sometimes not even quietly. "Why is he blind?" "Was it something his parents did?" "Did someone sin?" Imagine hearing people debate your life like that. Like you're not even standing there. Today we are reflecting on John 9:1-41, in which Jesus heals a blind man while remaining respectful and not treating the man’s disability as a punishment from God. This story is highly personal to Pastor Travis, who relates today’s Gospel passage to his own experience with blindness. Listen until the end to hear what today’s Gospel is really about, and to be reminded that when the world pushes you away, Jesus is looking for you.
