Family Worship On Demand – Sunday May 3rd 2020
John Newton wrote in one of the most famous hymns of all time “I was blind, but now I see.”
Being born blind has huge implications on a person’s physical and cognitive development. This is a powerful picture of the human condition in a spiritual sense, that we are born blind to spiritual realities – we don’t see God, and we don’t recognise the world that has been created by Him. Spiritually we are all handicapped and our development is hindered.
This weeks Family Worship message is brought to us by Russell Williams. Russell unpacks the story of the blind man that is found in chapter nine of the Gospel of John. Not only does Jesus heal the mans physical blindness, but he also heals his spiritual blindness. You can listen to Russell’s message in the audio player above.
