This message proclaims a simple, freeing truth: Jesus is for everyone. Drawing from Isaiah 35:5–6, Mark 10:46–52 (Bartimaeus), and John 9:1–41 (the man born blind), we see Christ bringing hope, healing, and dignity to people the crowd overlooks—then calling them (and us) to follow Him. Faith and boldness open the door (“Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!”), and obedience keeps it open (“Go, wash…”). Beyond physical sight, Jesus exposes a deeper issue—spiritual blindness—and invites us into clear-eyed discipleship marked by gratitude, courage, and worship (John 3:16; Psalm 100).
We confront discrimination head-on: leadership in Christ’s church must be accessible, empathetic, and inclusive. We don’t sideline the “physically challenged”; we honor every image-bearer and make room at the front, not the margins (Psalm 95). Testimony matters—like the healed man’s “I was blind, now I see”—so we share our stories and follow up with care. And when God answers, we’re the one who returns to give thanks, not the nine who disappear.
