Homily on the Healing of the Man Born Blind (John 9)
Father Artsakh
Father Artsakh delivers a homily on John 9 (the healing of the man born blind) at a concelebrated Divine Liturgy uniting Oriental Orthodox churches. He highlights three points: Jesus descending to the human condition to restore creation, the Sabbath controversy illustrating mercy over sacrifice, and the danger of spiritual blindness — praying that leaders everywhere may receive spiritual vision and work toward peace.
