It is not the beggar.A man born blind receives his sight. The religious experts spend the rest of the chapter trying to prove it did not happen. They interrogate him. His parents. Him again. They are not looking for truth. They are looking for an exit.Why? Because the healing happened on the Sabbath. If Jesus healed on the Sabbath, their categories are wrong. Their system is broken. That is too threatening. So they choose blindness.You have done this. So have I.Something happens that does not fit your theology, your assumptions, your framework. And instead of adjusting, you dig in. You find reasons to dismiss the evidence. You protect the system at the cost of the truth.Samuel almost made the same mistake. He saw Jesse's tall sons and thought one must be the anointed. God stopped him. Man sees the outside. I see the heart. The overlooked shepherd boy was the one God wanted.Who have you dismissed? And what are you so certain about that you have stopped asking questions?📖 ReadingsFirst Reading: 1 Samuel 16:1b, 6-7, 10-13aResponsorial: Psalm 23:1-3a, 3b-4, 5, 6Second Reading: Ephesians 5:8-14Gospel: John 9:1-41⏱️ Timeline00:00 Introduction00:15 Reading I - 1 Samuel 16:1b,6-7,10-13a01:37 Psalm Response - Psalm 2305:18 Reading II - Ephesians 5:8-1406:03 Gospel - John 9:1-4110:44 Reflection - Who Is Really Blind?🎧 Prefer to listen on the go?
