Jesus’ final words often probe with open questions designed to reveal hidden motives, deep desires, and hunger for hope.We may hunger from a distance or dare to come closer.
Slowly read and reflect on what follows.
____________________
As Jesus and the disciples left the city of Jericho, a vast crowd surged along behind.
Two blind men were sitting beside the road, and when they heard that Jesus was coming that way, they began shouting, Sir, King David’s Son, have mercy on us!
The crowd told them to be quiet, but they only yelled louder.
When Jesus came to the place where they were, he stopped in the road and called, What do you want me to do for you?
Sir, they said, we want to see!
Jesus was moved with pity for them and touched their eyes. And instantly they could see and followed him.
Matthew 20:29-34 TLB

ActionMetaphorically vision can be an imagined plan for the future.How has your life waned with personal vision?What would you change if you could see better, further, or with new eyes?What choices would you have made differently?
Ask JesusGive me eyes to see what I cannot see, Lord!I want a vision for my life – large or small – but a vision that is fulfilling.I want to see my family, friends, and what’s next with new eyes!
