"Jesus, Son of God, have mercy on me!" the blind man called out to the crowd of people walking down the street. He sat on the side of the road and shouted out above the crowds in hope that Jesus would hear him. Those who were walking by kicked dust up and told him to stop shouting, yet this dear blind man shouted all the more. Jesus heard his desperate cry and called the man to himself. To be given sight and to see for the first time how ragged his clothes were, to see the dirt on his hands and the terrible shape his feet were in, as he stood before Jesus Christ his Lord and Savior, it must have been embarrassing to say the least. Jesus, however, saw past his filth and only heard the desperate cry. This blind man knew that Jesus could save him and was not going to let anyone silence his voice, and for that he received sight and followed Jesus Christ the rest of his days.
Do you have that kind of resolve in your relationship with Jesus? Are you desperate for Him?
