SEEKING THE HEART OF JESUS: A Heart That Values - Spiritual Blindness (a blog post for a sermon to be preached at Kenwood Church on August 25, 2019)

Robert Finley is a contestant on America's Got Talent.  I believe he is 65 years of age.  He didn't get much of an education as he was the child of sharecroppers in Louisiana.  He is a singer.  He has loved music all of his life and has dreamed of being a professional singer.  He said to all of the AGT viewers last night, "You are never too young to dream and never too old for your dreams to come true." 

The song he sung last night mentioned ideas like "seeing the light" and "now I can see."  He made reference to his faith and the music of the church.  He demonstrated that there is more to seeing than seeing.  The words he chose to put into his song demonstrated that he knew about spiritual blindness and rejoiced in his ability to see the Light.  You might call Robert an expert in blindness.  He is blind.   

Personally, I think he can see better than most of us who still have our sight.
