I See people like trees walking - - touch me again, Jesus |
Who is Jesus chapter 34b Jesus spits - - this time on a Blind man.
During the ministry of Jesus, he healed all kinds
of diseases, including deafness and blindness.
We remember the happening of the man born blind, who was healed on the
Sabbath day. On that day, Jesus spit and
made mud rubbing it on his eyes. I
wonder if he was simply creating new eye balls and putting them into the man's
eyes. Anyway, religious leaders after
questioning the now healed man, cast him out of the synagogue for believing on
Jesus. His parents were afraid they too
might be cast out, but they did admit to the leaders that this was their son who
was born blind and now he can see.
Mark's gospel, chapter 8 tells the story of
another blind man healed by Jesus. At Bethsaida some people
brought to Jesus a blind man and begged him to touch him. For some reason, Jesus wanted privacy,
so he took this blind man by the hand and led him out of the village away from
the crowd.
And when he
had spit on his eyes and laid his hands on him, he asked him, “Do you see anything?”
The man looked up and said, “I see people, but they look like trees,
walking.” Then Jesus laid
his hands on his eyes again; and when he opened his eyes, his sight was
restored, and he saw everything clearly. And Jesus sent him to his home,
saying, “Go straight home, and do not even enter
the village.”
Mark's gospel, chapter 10 tells of a blind beggar that Jesus
healed:
A few days later, As Jesus was leaving Jericho with his
disciples and a great crowd was following them, Bartimaeus, a blind
beggar, was sitting by the roadside. And
when he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to cry out and yell
loudly, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!”
Now those standing near the blind
beggar scolded him, telling him to be quiet. But he paid no attention to them and cried out
all the more, and this time even louder - - “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on
me!” Jesus heard him and stopped in his tracks and
said, “Call him to come to me.”
And so they called the blind man, saying to him, “This
is your lucky day. Get up; because Jesus
is calling you.” And
throwing off his blanket, he jumped up and came to Jesus.
And Jesus said to him, “What do you want me to do for you?” (Jesus knew what he wanted, but it was important for
the man to tell Jesus what it was he needed.)
The blind man said to him, “Rabbi, that I might recover my
sight.” And
Jesus said to him, “Go your way; your faith
has made you well.” And immediately
his sight returned to him and he followed Jesus.
Today my friend, Jesus is calling you; Jesus is
saying, "Come to me, what is it you want me to do for you?" Although I don't believe in lucky days, but I
do believe in Blessed days, and today can be your day of blessing when you come
to Jesus and lay out your life before Him. Just tell Him like it is.
Often we are blinded to the truth and all it
takes is for God's light to shine in our hearts and reveal to us the reality of
Jesus being the one who can bring you into the family of God and cause you to
become his child. By His Holy Spirit, he
sets up His kingdom in the hearts of believers.
Do you believe Jesus is the Messiah?
You can ask him to open your eyes to see all that He desires you to be. It is as simple as saying; "Here I am Lord Jesus, I come to you now,
open my eyes so that I may see all you have for me."
