What Do You See

This sermon explores the concept of spiritual perception through the lens of three biblical figures: the Pharisee, the rich fool, and the repentant thief. The central argument posits that human blindness to spiritual reality stems from focusing on oneself, others, or future comforts rather than on Jesus Christ. By contrasting the Pharisee's pride and the rich man's presumption with the thief's conviction and faith, the message highlights that true salvation requires seeing one's own sinfulness and Jesus's righteousness. The tone is urgent and pastoral, challenging the audience to abandon self-reliance and worldly distractions. Ultimately, the sermon calls for a shift in focus from self and circumstance to the person of Jesus, who alone offers hope and eternal life.
