My dear Brothers and sisters in Christ, I greet and bless you in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. The blessed word that God has given for you today is from the book of Mark 10:52 Then Jesus said to him, “Go your way, Your faith has made you well. ” And Immediately he received his sight and followed Jesus on the road.” From this portion we read about the life of a blind man.
The blind man can be compared to a man who is blind spiritually. Such people are without any spiritual insight. They are blind to the knowledge of knowing the truth. They are worldly and cannot enter into the kingdom of God. This is one state of blindness. They have failed to know the way of peace, life and salvation by Christ. And when they receive sight from Christ, they have a clear vision of their sinful life and they are made light in the Lord and become Children of God. The eyes of their understanding are enlightened as they are able to see the sad and ruinous state, the pollution of their hearts and the sinfulness of their thoughts. Once they receive their sight they begin to understand the loveliness of Christ and the fullness of His grace and that eternal glory and happiness is secured by God.
God is willing to open your eyes because of His Friendly love for you. He will remove the dirt or blockade of your eyes. God will heal all the nerves and tissues that needs healing. There was one such man called Bartimaeus. He sat by the road begging. When he heard that Jesus of Nazareth was passing by that way, he began to cry out and say, “Jesus Son of David, have mercy on me.”So Jesus stood still and commanded him to be called. So the disciples comforted him saying “ Be of good cheer. Rise, He is calling you. “ The blind man threw off his garment and came to Jesus. Jesus said to him, What do you want Me to do for you? The blind man said to Him, “Rabboni, that I may receive my sight.” Then Jesus said to him, Go your way “ Your faith has made you well. ” And Immediately he received his sight and followed Jesus on the road. A great change came into the life of Bartimaeus. Jesus changed his situation completely.
My dear Brothers and Sisters God will change your situation for you too, if you cry out to Him in truth and spirit. Bible says, This poor man cried out, and the Lord heard him, And saved him out of all his troubles. When you come to Jesus He will deliver you from all your problems. Today God is willing to heal you of all your disease, your sorrows, your pains, your fear, and your worries due to debts, joblessness, court cases and all other problems that you go through in your day to day life. Provided you cry out to Him. He is a God of compassion. A God who opened the eyes of the blind can open the doors of your life too. The Bible says, I cried out to the Lord, because of my affliction, And He answered me. He is a God who answers you, when you call upon Him. God bless you.
Prayer:
Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. We praise You Lord for opening our eyes , that we may see the truth. Thank You for your friendly love and compassion. Help us to acknowledge your goodness in our life and be healed of our disease, our pain and sorrows. Teach us to cry out to God in difficult times. Answer our prayers Oh Lord. In Jesus name we pray.
Amen.
