John 9
Anthony continues our February series Encounters with Jesus. Anthony says: "Imagine not being able to see. Try closing your eyes and putting your shoes on or making a sandwich; it's hard. It would be so hard to do everyday tasks that we take for granted: eating, taking out the rubbish, getting dressed, having a shower, driving a car, well, maybe not driving a car... Let's take that further. Now, imagine what it would be like to be born blind. Being born blind means you have no understanding or idea of what things may look like. A blind person can feel the sun's warmth but can't see the sunset or sunrise. A blind person can smell the aromas of a garden but can't see the flowers. The words red, yellow, purple and green are meaningless to them. It's impossible to imagine what it would be like to be blind, let alone born blind. This Sunday, we see two kinds of people who are blind. One guy was born blind and has a life-changing encounter with Jesus, and the other, well, he doesn't even know he is blind and misses out"
