RCL Reflection, Fourth Sunday in Lent, March 19, 2023.
Who sees and who doesn’t is explored in this week’s Gospel lesson. Through Jesus’ interaction with the man born blind we see the folly of refusing to “see” things, instead making assumptions. Joel Bergeland explores.

Ministry and worship are probably looking quite a bit different in most contexts where COVID-19 precautions are in place. This week’s lessons offer some wonderful springboards to look at current events through the lens of scripture–from the comfort of the 23rd Psalm to the lessons about blindness and sight.

Revised Common Lectionary Reflection for the Fourth Sunday in Lent, Year A, March 26, 2017
Jesus is still in the business of miracles today. He takes us, ordinary sinful, yet named and claimed disciples, and through water, word, bread, and wine equips us to be his people. He takes our humble gifts and multiples our meager offerings in ways that can’t be explained rationally. We who were once blind now see a new vision, fresh possibility, and real hope.

This week’s gospel lesson invites–no compels–us to examine our own vision and blindness. How do we respond to Jesus’ words in verse 41? (Photo by AfghanistanMatters used under Creative Commons License. Thanks!)
