Several, actually but primarily John 9:1-6

Ah. I love that lesson. My thoughts on it ended this way:

The dead can take care of the dead. We can not live for the next world
- we can not abandon the pain and suffering of this world to a forlorn
hope of a better life in heaven. No, we must instead live as if the atheists
are right and that this world is all there ever will be.

We must live in the here and now, in the gladness and fullness of heart
that being open to God’s love brings. We must open ourselves to the love
that comes from all creation for God’s creation is the fullest expression
of the that love that exists NOW for each and every person in the world.

Never forget that Jesus healed the eyes of the man born blind right there
and then. He did not tell him how great seeing would be in heaven.

To do less than that in our own lives is the real sin.
