Helen Keller, who lost her sight as a child, said that the only thing worse than being blind is having eyes and failing to see. That line opens a reflection on the only miracle in which Jesus heals a blind man in stages, and on Peter’s confession near Caesarea Philippi (Mark 8). The sermon shows that you can be close to Jesus and witness his power, yet still look at him through the filter of your own fears and expectations, because the transformation of the heart is a process he never abandons halfway. Listen and ask yourself: who do you say he is?
Looking Without Seeing
Who Is Jesus?
Questions are like keys. They open doors, prompt us to seek answers, and lead to important discoveries. Some of these questions are more important than others, because so much depends on them. One of the most important questions is: Who is Jesus? Was He a fraud who deceived His disciples and then millions of people around the world? A madman suffering from delusions of grandeur? Or was He who He claimed to be? Who was He? In search of the answer to this question, we embark on a journey through the Gospel of Mark, because we know that so much depends on this answer.
