“I do not Know”
John 9: 1-41
Like the man in this gospel passage, we were all once blind, and remained in darkness (2nd Reading). On our own, we cannot know God.
Jesus was sent to revealed to us God and God‘s love. Without Jesus being sent, we would still remain in darkness.
When we think that we have God figured out, when we put God in a box - the box of our preconceptions and prejudices, then we remain blind.
Only when we humbly acknowledge that we were once blind, that we still do not know, then we can be open to the knowledge of God. Like the man, we can then request, “Who are you, God, that I may believe in you?”
