So Jesus answered and said to him, "What do you want Me to do for you?" The blind man said to Him, "Rabboni, that I may receive my sight." Then Jesus said to him, "Go your way; your faith has made you well." And immediately he received his sight and followed Jesus on the road. How would you respond if Jesus asked you the question, "What do you want Me to do for you?" Maybe it's financial security or health. Maybe your request would be for your spouse or family member. Solomon asked for wisdom. And while this blind man received physical sight, his request was so much greater than this. This man wanted the touch of Jesus on his life. He was sick and tired of the religiosity that he could hear and experience. All he wanted was a new life in Christ Jesus; he was willing to give up everything he had, just to receive Jesus. This shows the heart of this man, but it also shows the heart of our Lord Jesus. He is not some angry God forcing you to do anything. His desires are for you to willingly come and ask for healing in your life. It's your choice what to ask, so be careful what you ask for. We should take Paul's advice to heart when he said in 1 Corinthians 2:2, "For I determined not to know anything among you except Jesus Christ and Him crucified." Is this your heart's desire? To know Jesus Christ and Him crucified? The question that Jesus asked the blind man is the very question He is asking you today. What will your response be? |
