Wow - blind but finding the light of life! I can try to do the same in my "blindness".

Jesus stands at the door knocking. In total reality, he comes in the form of the beggar, of the dissolute human child in ragged clothes, asking for help. He confronts you in every person that you meet. As long as there are people, Christ will walk the earth as your neighbor, as the one through whom God calls you, speaks to you, makes demands on you.
That is the great seriousness and great blessedness of the Advent message. Christ is standing at the door; he lives in the form of a human being among us. Do you want to close the door or open it?

Oops - that's Stevie Wonder who was blind! And Ken Medema: two power house men at finding and sharing the song of life in spite of the darkness.
ReplyDeleteSo Wow about Beethoven - he couldn't hear - but found the sound of creation deep within.
