Ephesians 5

From Blindness to Seeing, John 9, Ephesians 5:1-14

Fr. Jeremiah Caughran From Blindness to Seeing, John 9, Ephesians 5.1-14

When Jesus and his disciples encounter a man born blind, they wonder about the cause of the blindness, but Jesus wants to reveal that this someone that God can work in and he calls them to be about the work of the Father in all that they do.

St. Paul reminds the Ephesians about the fruitless works of darkness that they were once a part of. But what has changed? They became light because Jesus is the light of the world and in him is no darkness. The same is true of us today. We are called light and by being light, we are called to walk in the way of the children of light, reflecting who Jesus is and what he has done in us through his death and resurrection.
