WILLIAM ROHDE The fourth bunday of Lent church service was in charge of Rev. Robert Matheson. He told the children a story entitl- ed "Fixing Our Sight". The Scripture Lesson was read from 1 Samuel 16:16, 6-7, 10-13a, Ephesians 5:8-14, John 9:1-41. The sermon was entitl- ed "On Our Own We Travel Blind". At first glance there ap- pears to be no similarity bet- ween our Old Testament lessons from Ephesians 5:8-14 and John 9. Ephesians speaks of how Christians often becoming Christians become acquainted with light. John's gospel speaks of a miracle Jesus performed in which a man has been blind since birth is now able to see. That man now walks in light. He no longer suffers from spiritual or physical blindness. But just where is blindness spoken of in the story about Samuel annoin- ting. David king of Israel even while Saul continues to rule? Maybe it is Samuel who is blind - forgetting Saul's ex- istence!? But that isn't it, at all. Saul had turned against the counsel of God. He had become misguided as he continued to rule the na- tion. A nation under the wing of a misguided ruler becomes a misguided nation. It sounds a lot like the pretenders to the Canadian Prime Ministerial throne or the American Presidential throne doesn't it? That is the easy direction to go but the words from Scrip- ture today are directed in two directions - to the rulers, yes, but also to the ruled. There are times in our lives when we, the followers are called to stand up for what is right - in the face of strong op- position - even for unpopular causes because our understanding of light and sight, prayerful and spiritual learning has called us to do so. The challenges are many and the controversies are great - are we up to the tasks God calls us to do? A combined .
