This Sunday’s text focuses on recognition and, more importantly, lack of recognition. John’s gospel is, in many ways, all about spiritual blindness. Human beings, apart from grace, are unable to see things as they really are. This blindness leads to frequent incidents of misunderstanding and misidentification. Faith brings grace and grace brings sight. Once we can see, we are able to see Jesus Christ for who he truly is, the Word by whom all things were created become flesh. Through that incarnate Word, we are able to see God. Whatever we want to know about God we can know in and through our knowledge of Jesus Christ.
