Scripture: John 12:2-24

Just yesterday I presided over the graveside service of a dear Trinity saint, Marty Moll.  Marty was who inspired me to seek treatment for my dry eye.  Until speaking with Marty, I never realized that dry eye could lead to vision loss.  The ability to see is so important.  As I mentioned during my sermon last week, today we understand how vision occurs; we understand that light enters the eye through the cornea, passing through the pupil, lens and vitreous humor until it reaches photoreceptors on the retina.  But it goes beyond that because the optic nerve must then carry signals to the visual cortex of the brain to make sense out of what our eye has received.  So, the ability to see requires the eye and brain to work in sync to comprehend the significance of what is being seen.
But, there is, metaphorical vision as well, represented by phrases like “Oh, I see what you mean.”  This kind of vision requires the eye and heart or spirit to work in sync.
