Gospel and Sermon Text: John 9:1-7, 13-17, 34-39. Jesus Give Us True Light
Jesus wants us to love and serve him. He wants us to glorify him. God wants our sinful lives to change, but that is not what brings us closer to God. God brings us to himself and the result is that our lives change and we serve and love him
We have not just been given sight, but also eternal life in heaven. This is what we have to share with others. And this is what we have to cherish and to hold dear and to read and learn and study.
