LET ME GET MY Sight BACK

Many say. If they can't see and hear God, they must ask God in Jesus' name to give them their sight and hearing back. God is the light, we don't want to walk/live in darkness or a gray mass where we grope our way blindly.

Jesus was on his way out of Jericho. As usual, a large crowd of people followed. The disciples probably had a foothold in things. There was peace and order. Bartimaeus was blind and had been sitting at the gate, probably with other beggars. His job was to beg - He was not from the so-called nice company.

Bartimaeus became curious when he heard that a lot of people were coming by. He became happy and excited when he heard that it was JESUS ​​who was coming by, Jesus about whom he had heard others tell both good things and less good things. He remembered that he had heard that Jesus could heal people. Therefore, he begins to shout at Jesus, with all the strength of his lungs: YOU SON OF DAVID, HAVE MERCY ON ME – The people around Bartimaeus threaten him and ask him to stop – “Then be quiet..”, they tell him.

Bartimaeus is blind, but not deaf, but does not respond to the well-meaning advice of the so-called finer people. He just shouts even louder at Jesus.

Jesus hears the shouts, and has probably heard them the first time. Jesus calls Bartimaeus to him, and some help Bartimaeus to Jesus. WHAT DO YOU WANT ME TO DO FOR YOU? asks Jesus.

A foolish question, I think, everyone can see that the man is blind.

Bartimaeus answers. LET ME RECEIVE MY SIGHT.

Bartimaeus regained his sight that day, and as an even greater miracle, he received eternal life.

Jesus is not afraid of people who cry out for help. Time and again we see how Jesus meets people's needs, and sometimes in a way that provokes us because it breaks with the usual norm.

We should not be afraid to call on Jesus when we are in need. LORD HAVE MERCY ON ME

Today, Jesus also asks the question in your and my situation: WHAT DO YOU WANT ME TO DO FOR YOU - Yes, he knows you and your situation, but he wants you to tell him what you need.

As he transformed Bartimaeus' situation, so he can also transform you and my situation. Are you spiritually blind, or have become spiritually blind, or something has blinded you in life, then call on Jesus, he wants us to see clearly and distinctly.
amen
