Through Blind Eyes | Lent Begins in the Dark
John 9:1-7
Lent 1
February 22, 2026
Rev. Teer Hardy
Lent does not begin in the dark because God delights in confusion, but because trust is formed there. The blind man is seen before he sees. Grace precedes understanding. The call precedes clarity. That means the same is true for you. You might feel half-seeing or spiritually muddy. You may feel uncertain about what the season will bring. But you have seen, and you have been told to go.
