About this episode

The episode discusses how distance from power can provide a clearer view of Jesus and his healing abilities, based on the Gospel of John.

The further away from the seat of power, the easier it is to see Jesus. Proximity to power has a way of blurring our view of Jesus and his way. In this Sunday's Gospel, we hear about a royal official who leaves his position to call on Jesus because power doesn't heal. But Jesus does. The sermon is based on John 4:46-54.
