 March 2, 2008 Pastor's PerspectiveOn this Fourth Sunday of Lent we share the wonderful story of the man born blind as found in the Gospel of John.In a way, the blind man’s story is the story of every Christian: we cling to faith in the midst of many challenges and adversities. Our work during Lend is to open ourselves to Jesus who calls us to a deeper faith. The restoration of the blind man’s physical sight culminates in the spiritual insight that Jesus is the “Son of Man” worthy of worship: he is unrecognized by friends, challenged by authorities, unsupported by his parents, expelled from the synagogue. Yet with each obstacle his vision of faith is sharpened and his resolve is strengthened. As we make our way along our Lenten journey we too grope for faith in the midst of difficulties and brokenness; and Jesus comes to find us. Peace, and Happy Lent, Fr. Chuck
