SERMON - When the Deaf Hear: Christ’s Meekness and the Victory of the Present

This episode explores Isaiah 29 and Jesus’ healing of the deaf and blind as a promise that God will restore what sin has broken. It argues that humanity’s sin is the desire to control past and future instead of living in the present God gives. The sermon reframes meekness not as passivity but as Christ’s deliberate humility — delaying his full victory to obey the Father and redeem us by living our present moments perfectly for us. Listeners are invited to trust Christ’s active obedience, find consolation in his work on the cross, and participate in his present victory through their everyday vocations and the Lord’s Supper.
