The Son of David opens blind eyes (Luke 18:31-43)

Sunday message from 2 March 2025 on Luke 18:31-43In this sermon, you will explore the striking contrast between the deaths of Julius Caesar and Jesus—and what their stories reveal about hearing and heeding warnings. You will hear how Caesar ignored clear warnings from those around him, while Jesus openly foretold his own suffering and death, only to be misunderstood by his closest followers. Through this lens, you’ll be encouraged to consider how often we, too, miss the signs God places before us. You'll encounter the story of a blind beggar who, though physically sightless, saw Jesus for who He truly was—the promised Son of David. His faith led to healing and a life of following Christ, a powerful example of how God opens our eyes through faith. This will lead you to the cross, where Christ’s suffering becomes your redemption, and to the waters of baptism, where God gives you new life and clear sight to follow Him in faith.Michael HartmanStay connected with our church:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Website⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Discover Hidden Gems on YouTube
