Readings: 1 Samuel 16:1, 6-7, 10-13;People see, and yet they don’t see. The first people to do this are the disciples . I imagine the disciples out for a walk with Jesus. A wonderful day to be alive. A great day to have an intellectually stimulating discussion with their rabbi. And then they happen to come upon a man who has been blind from the day he was born.
And then Jesus, casually, as if He does this sort of thing every day, spits on the ground, makes mud with His spit, and He rubs the mud on the man’s eyes. He sends the man to a pool called “Sent,” with instructions to wash. The man returns, and he is no longer blind. they immediately move on to what he means, what he signifies to them. He ceases to be a person. He becomes a tool, a device they will use. He becomes an issue.Jesus looks at the blind man and He sees an opportunity for God’s goodness to be revealed.Even the blind man’s parents don’t seem to be able to see their own son. They look at him, and they see the loss of their place in the community, the threat of being kicked out of their synagogue.The man who was born blind is given sight.
