March 15, 2026. Fourth Sunday in Lent. Year A.
One gets to the end of the story of the man born blind and has to wonder, “Why did the authorities raise such a ruckus about his healing?” They interrogate him multiple times and even call his parents to testify. Why can’t they simply rejoice with him? But Jesus’ miracle has more than offended their religious sensibilities. Having done what only God can do, Jesus has upended the moral order. The beggar becomes the teacher, while the teachers become blind. This great reversal, Jesus says, is precisely why “I came into this world.”
