Water evokes lots of beautiful images in the Scriptures, but Jesus can do quite a bit with seemingly ordinary water, too. Like his own saliva. Take a listen on this sermon based on John 9:1-12.

Scripture: Luke 5:1-11
Many years ago (1989 to be exact), I stood in line with a few of my college classmates to get tickets for “Les Miserables.” We were in London for our three-week interim period (called May Term where I went to school) and it was a pretty big deal for us (a group of small-town Iowans) to see a show like this in an international city. When we finally got to the front, we got bad news: it was sold out. “Wait,” the ticket seller said. “I may have something for you.” She was able to secure four tickets for us but said they wouldn’t be very good and that the view was blocked. I was disappointed and wondered if we should bother. My friends said to go for it, though, so we made the purchase. As we walked into the theater that night and the usher led us to where we were sitting, we discovered that it was going to be in one of those fancy opera boxes on the side…except it was nearly behind the stage. Once again, I questioned the decision we made. We discovered, though, that if we moved the chairs a certain way, and lean over the railing, we actually had a pretty cool view. It turned out to be a magical night—the first time I had seen a performance like that. My low expectations were turned upside down.
We’re looking at Luke 5:1-11 in this podcast, which includes an example of low expectations. Jesus tells a fisherman named Simon to throw out his nets into deeper water. Simon’s first response is, “We’ve already done that.” Low expectations. What happens next and what happens in our own lives when we have low expectations?
