“The Lamb of God and the Gift of True Sight” - 9:00 a.m. Traditional Eucharist

Rev. Dr. Sandi Kerner reflects on the theme of seeing—both physical sight and the deeper spiritual sight that comes from divine revelation. After sharing her own recent struggle with impaired vision, she turns to John the Baptist’s witness in the Gospel of John, where he sees Jesus with new clarity and declares Him the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world. Sandi highlights how Jesus not only removes sin but also baptizes with the Holy Spirit, who remains with believers, empowering them with gifts and new identity. Through stories of healing, forgiveness, and prophetic insight—including a powerful testimony of God erasing false labels and writing a new name—she invites listeners to ask Jesus to open the eyes of their hearts, receive the Spirit anew, and see themselves as God truly sees them: forgiven, chosen, and beloved.
