Lent 4 -- John 9 -- Restoration of Sight

Readings:
1 Samuel 16:1-13
Psalm 23
Ephesians 5:8-14
John 9:1-41

John 9 recounts the healing of the man blind from birth. Here we see the evangelist's model of coming to faith through an encounter with Jesus, literally moving from blindness to sight. We see the "works of God" made known in that Jesus seeks out the blind man, mirroring the way the Word made flesh came to earth.
