Verse: What do you want me to do for you?” He said, “Lord, let me recover my sight.”  Luke 18:41

Story: During the ministry of Jesus, once he was coming to Jericho, there was a blind man sitting by the road, begging. When he heard the crowd passing by, he asked, “What is this?” “Jesus of Nazareth is passing by,” they told him. He cried out, “Jesus! Son of David! Have mercy on me!” The people in front scolded him and told him to be quiet. But he shouted even more loudly, “Son of David! Have mercy on me!” So, Jesus stopped and ordered the blind man to be brought to him. When he came near, Jesus asked him, “What do you want me to do for you?” “Sir,” he answered, “I want to see again.” Jesus said to him, “Then see! Your faith has made you well.” At once he was able to see, and he followed Jesus, giving thanks to God. When the crowd saw it, they all praised God.

Lessons: 

Cry for Help: Our help comes only from the Lord, we have only one place to look, and that is our Lord the blind man could not go to Jesus, he did not see Jesus coming, he just heard, what can that poor man, who is a beggar and blind do. Only one thing, cry out, and he did – And he cried out, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!”  Luke 18:38

Ignore pushback: People who were in front, who walked with Jesus, rebuked, and scolded this man should have been discouraged, he did not hear Jesus’s response at that time, and he could have assumed even Jesus was upset with his cry, but he did not respond to people but he cried out even louder – But he cried out all the more, “Son of David, have mercy on me!” Luke 18:39

Never Give Up: This man cried till Jesus stopped, delay should never make us stop the cry to the Lord, and when Jesus stops to call us to him, everything in our life will change – And Jesus stopped and commanded him to be brought to him. And when he came near, he asked him, Luke 18:40

Answer Right: What do you want me to do for you?” He said, “Lord, let me recover my sight.” And Jesus said to him, “Recover your sight; your faith has made you well.”  Luke 18:41-42 – The Lord of the universe, if Jesus is asking what you want, will our answer be Lord I want to be well, spiritually, physically. I want to be more like you, I want to live a blameless life, and I want my loved ones and myself to be healed.

Spotlight on Jesus: And immediately he recovered his sight and followed him, glorifying God. And all the people, when they saw it, gave praise to God. Luke 18:43 Every answered prayer, every prayer asked should bring glory to the Lord and the spotlight to be on Jesus Christ.
