This sermon draws a parallel between the concept of "walking dead" zombies and the spiritual state of many Christians today—alive in Christ but not truly living in His fullness. The focus shifts from merely the miraculous act to the person of Jesus, the true source of life. Through examining John 11:1-8 and 20-25, the sermon invites listeners to move beyond being "Christian zombies" and embrace the abundant, resurrected life offered by Jesus.

In this sermon, we encounter a man born blind whose life is transformed when Jesus heals him, both physically and spiritually. Despite facing opposition and questions about his condition, the man's faith in Jesus remains steadfast. Through this story, we're reminded that Jesus is the light of the world, offering hope and salvation to all who believe in him. As we reflect on our own spiritual sight, we're challenged to consider whether we truly see Jesus for who he is and to embrace the light he offers, even in the midst of darkness.
