Jesus Heals 2 Blind Men

Tue, 01Sep09

Matthew 20:29-34 - Jesus' Interpretation

These men who could not see Me, cried out "Lord, have mercy on us, Son of David". There was a large crowd and the two spoke over all. "Have mercy on us" they pleaded. The crowd ignored them, and then turned on them.

Their cries could be heard over the crowd. The compassion in my heart drew Me closer to the men on the side of the road. They looked everywhere to find Me.

"What do you want Me to do?" is what I ask, for by their asking is how all will be achieved.

"Open our eyes". So many need Us to open their eyes, this is not just for the blind, this is for the old, the young, the just married, the wise. "Open our eyes", if all asked God to open their eyes to see the real world! To open their eyes to see Us. To see God in their life. To see the Love that is present in their lives. Open our eyes to the Grace of God. It is about being spiritually enlightened and opened. Their eyes were touched and opened.

Me: Their eyes were touched. Jesus had pity on them. How little we all see. And what did they do when they could see? Did they run off and check out the sites? No, their eyes were opened ..... and they followed Jesus.

When our eyes are opened we too will follow Jesus. When we see the love that is present in our lives, the Grace of God, the faith we require opens our eyes to the New Life we have been given in His Name, Jesus Christ.
