Sermon - "Why Should We Believe You?" (John)

On Sunday, Rev. Joshua Patty preached on the Gospel of John.  John is concerned with helping people to understand how and why some people can see Jesus for who he really is -- God on earth -- and why some people can't.

Most often, John presents this as a difference between spiritual sight and physical sight.  Those who rely only on physical eyesight cannot begin to appreciate who Jesus is and what he is doing in the world.  However, those blessed with spiritual sight eventually -- if imperfectly -- come to appreciate Jesus' promises and teachings more fully.  In this sense, they are like the man born blind who is healed by Jesus; "I once was blind, but now I see."
