TOPIC: Jesus Christ Hears
READ: Matthew 20:29-34
29 As Jesus and his disciples were leaving Jericho, a large crowd followed him.
30 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!”
31 The crowd rebuked them and told them to be quiet, but they shouted all the louder, “Lord, Son of David, have mercy on us!”
32 Jesus stopped and called them. “What do you want me to do for you?” he asked.
33 “Lord,” they answered, “we want our sight.”
34 Jesus had compassion on them and touched their eyes. Immediately they received their sight and followed him.
THE MESSAGE:
Two blind men were seated helpless by the way side as the noise of Jesus’ passing came to their notice. They cried out to Him for mercy. The crowd, just like today, did not encourage their desire to be healed. However, the more they tried to stop themn, they more they called on Jesus for help. As is with Jesus, He called them to come. As they came, He noticed that they were blind, yet, He gave them the opportunity of stating their request. He had compassion on them, and that led to their healing.
What is it that takes sleep away from you? What is it that has made you incomplete in your life? Jesus Christ is passing this way today. Cry aloud, spare not! Don’t allow the discouragement of men to get at you. The crowd did not encourage the blind men, they may not also encourage you. However, Jesus’ ear is wide open to your call. The blind men were very specific to Jesus’ question. Be specific today. Tell Him what you want. He hears, and will attend to your need according to His will.
PRAYER: O God, hear my cry and attend to my needs in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
