This sermon explores the biblical account of Jesus healing a man born blind in John chapter nine, using it as a foundational text to discuss the nature of suffering, spiritual blindness, and God's redemptive power. Pr. Kern speaker emphasizes that suffering is not a direct punishment from God for individual sin, but rather a consequence of living in a fallen world under the influence of Satan. The sermon also highlights the contrasting reactions to the miracle, with the formerly blind man gaining spiritual insight while the Pharisees, despite their physical sight, remained spiritually blind due to their rigid adherence to rules over compassion. Ultimately, the speaker calls on the congregation to be representatives of Jesus' love and healing in the world, demonstrating God's grace and transformation through their own lives rather than judging others.
