Reflections

Light for a Broken World

Posted on February 12, 2018 | Posted by Pastor Daniel

Pastor Daniel’s sermon for February 11, 2018 on John 9.

http://www.ascensioncos.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/sermon-2018-02-11.mp3

Without knowing our blindness, we struggle to accept new sight.  Without knowing our darkness, we struggle to see light.  Without knowing our brokenness, we struggle to let ourselves be made whole.

So, let’s stop pretending.  Today, let’s kneel at the altar.  It isn’t a posture of submission, so much as recognition.  Recognition that despite our many attempts at hiding it, we are no less broken than the rest of this world.  A recognition that we kneel asking only for wholeness, for light, for mercy.  Mercy from one who is the light of the world.  And sticking our hands out, that’s exactly what we get.  Amen.
