Lesson 4424

Lesson 4424)(03-14-24) Luke 18:35-43 

“And it came to pass, that as he was come nigh unto Jericho, a certain blind man sat by the way side begging: And hearing the multitude pass by, he asked what it meant. And they told him, that Jesus of Nazareth passeth by. And he cried, saying, Jesus, thou son of David, have mercy on me. And they which went before rebuked him, that he should hold his peace: but he cried so much the more, Thou son of David, have mercy on me. And Jesus stood, and commanded him to be brought unto him: and when he was come near, he asked him, Saying, What wilt thou that I shall do unto thee? And he said, Lord, that I may receive my sight. And Jesus said unto him, Receive thy sight: thy faith hath saved thee. And immediately he received his sight, and followed him, glorifying God: and all the people, when they saw it, gave praise unto God.” 

 

Today’s quote narrates the story of Jesus healing a blind man near Jericho. As Jesus approached the city, a blind man sitting by the roadside heard the crowd and inquired about the commotion. When he learned that Jesus of Nazareth was passing by, he began to shout, asking Jesus to have mercy on him. Despite the crowd's attempts to silence him, the blind man persisted, finally catching Jesus' attention. Jesus then asked him what he wanted, and the blind man expressed his desire to receive his sight. Jesus commended his faith and instantly restored his sight. The healed man then followed Jesus, glorifying God, and all the people who witnessed the miracle praised God. This passage highlights the power of faith as well as Jesus' loving compassion and power over all things.~
