Jesus is coming!» The excited whisper drifts through the gathering like a spark of electricity. «Jesus is coming!»
The breath of a blind man huddled under the protection of a tree catches in his throat. Could it be? Was it true? He’d been waiting for this moment ever since he’d heard about the kind Teacher who traveled throughout his homeland, healing people of all manner of ills. This would be his one opportunity. He might never have another.
«Jesus, Son of David,» he calls, voice trembling with excitement, «have mercy on me.»
«Be quiet,» someone hisses at him. «You’re making far too much commotion.»
But the man didn’t care. His one chance for sight, his one chance for living a normal, productive life, was about to pass by. It was no time to be timid.
«Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!»
In the distance he hears a kind, resonant voice say, «Tell the blind man to come to Me.»
The beggar leaps to his feet and races for the voice, bumping into people, stumbling over rocks, finally landing at Jesus’ feet.
«What do you want Me to do?» he hears the Teacher say. Of course, Jesus knew exactly what the man wanted, but He likes to be asked. He doesn’t force Himself on anyone.
«Sight,» said the beggar. «I want to see!»
«Your faith has made you well,» Jesus responds. And the eyes of the blind man opened wide in wonder.
Today Christ offers unlimited healing power for every spiritual ill. Fall at His feet. Ask. Receive.
