The One that isnt seen,

Two Blind men Receive Sight
Matthew 20; 29-34
As Jesus and his disciples were leaving Jericho, a large crowd followed him. Two blind men were sitting by the roadside, and when they heard that Jesus was going by, they shouted, "Lord, Son of David, have mercy on us!" The crowd rebuked them and told them to be quiet, but they shouted all the louder, "Lord, Son of David, have mercy on us!" Jesus stopped and called them. "What do you want me to do for you?" he asked. "Lord," they asnwered, "we want our sight." Jesus had compassion on them and touched their eyes. Immediately they received their sight and followed Him.



The blind men that wants sight, the "followers" of Jesus not wanting to give there Lord to these "blind men" or the outcasts of the city. I mean they werent exactly the ones that were the most prosperous in the town. While reading this whole chapter i feel like its trying to convey a place for the lost to come. These outcasts that called on the Lord to ask for their sight back was in the right place to ask the Lord. I mean theres other occassions by faith alone people were healed, brought back to life, demons cast but these followers of Christ didnt seem to have the same compassion as He did. He healed them, no questions asked, He did it. I feel like im like that a lot in my life, i overlook a lot of the times the lost and i go RIGHT to the healthy. Its funny because i know im sick but when i become prideful while im living in sin i feel like im on top of the world in a worldly sense. I need to humble myself while i pray, i need the attitude of Paul the Apostle as he runs his life towards the calling of Christ, knowing full well that he himself is the worst sinner of all he was used by the Lord in a tremendous way. I need that attitude. I need to look at every person and know that he or she needs help, not just look at those that alreayd have help because God came for the sick, and yes i am sick.


Application; reach out to those that do not know Christ, be a better light so that people would have that opportunity to be healed by the loving power of Christ.
