Scripture includes: John 9:1-41
Rev. Dr. Libby Grammer will preach a sermon entitled, “Seeing the Signs”
In the Gospel of John, Jesus performs signs – signs that point to the Kingdom of God. In this week’s text, the sign he offers is also a lesson in sight: how we see (and whether we see) matters a great deal in how we live out our faith.
This is the Fourth Sunday in Lent. Lent is the season in which we anticipate Jesus’ final trip to Jerusalem and the self-giving nature of love shown in his passion and death. The season begins with Ash Wednesday and extends for forty days through Saturday of Holy Week. Sundays are excluded from Lent, being regarded as feast days in the midst of the forty-day fast. Lent is a strongly penitential season. The liturgical color is purple, used to symbolize penance, preparation, sacrifice.
