Luke 18:35–43

As Jesus approached Jericho, a blind man
was sitting by the roadside begging. When he heard a crowd going by, he asked
what was happening. They told him, “Jesus of Nazareth is passing by.” Then he
shouted, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!” Those who were in front
sternly ordered him to be quiet; but he shouted even more loudly, “Son of
David, have mercy on me!” Jesus stood still and ordered the man to be brought
to him; and when he came near, he asked him, “What do you want me to do for you?”
He said, “Lord, let me see again.” Jesus said to him, “Receive your sight; your
faith has saved you.” Immediately he regained his sight and followed him,
glorifying God; and all the people, when they saw it, praised God.

 

Reflection

 

•      Jesus asks me “What is
happening?” Is there anything of lasting importance happening in my life?

•      “What do you want me to do for you?” Jesus asks
me this every day! How do I respond to his question?
