Not
being able to see is a terrible thing! If I had a choice
in the matter, I had rather be cripple, have no hearing
or be speechless.
To be blind is a horrifying thought. Think about it! The most hopless (physical condition) I have ever
read about is Helen Keller. She was born with no sight,
totally deaf, and could not speak. There
is a condition much worse than being physically
blind. One has never been so blind than to be spiritually
blind.

Mark
10:46-52 " And they
came to Jericho -with his disciples and a great
number of people, blind
Bartimaes, the son ofTimaeus sat by the highway
side begging. And when he heard that it was
Jesus of Nazareth,
he began to cry out, and say, Jesus, thou son of
David, have mercy on me. And many charged him that
he should hold his peace: but he cried the more
a great deal, Thou son of David, have mercy
on me.
And Jesus stood still, and commanded him to be
called. And they call the blind man, saying
unto him, Be
of good comfort, rise; he calleth thee. And he,
casting away his garment, rose, and came to
Jesus. And Jesus
answered and said unto him, What wilt thou that
I should do unto thee? The blind man said unto
him,
Lord, that I might, receive my sight. And Jesus
said unto him, Go thy way; thy faith hath made
thee whole.
And immediately he received his sight, and followed
Jesus in the way." |
