The blind...

The blind....

While Jesus walked among the people during his earthly ministry, he healed many, people flocked to him for healing...following, begging for cures for their misery....just reading through the gospels about the blind and how he dealt with each one has been enlightening....

He healed by mud, touch and word...each at his own discretion.....each differently..unique..personal...but he cared for them...

It made me realize again that God doesn't have to have a set of guidelines that he follows in dealing with me or anyone else....He is sovereign...he chooses what is the right or best path...

Just because someone else was treated or had this experience doesn't mean that I will be helped the same way...

It was just a reminder that God has a particular path for each of us and we are not to compare with one another...He loves us individually...he cares for us individually...

Thank YOU...for the unique way you work in my life....

John 9:39 Jesus said, “For judgment I have come into this world, so that the blind will see and those who see will become blind.”

John 9:1-41 tells the story of Jesus healing the blind man who had been blind since birth...Jesus makes a little mud, puts it on the man's eyes, send him away to wash and he can see...later he believes and worships...

Matthew 9:29-30a Then he touched their eyes and said, “According to your faith let it be done to you”; and their sight was restored. .....

Matthew 12:22 Then they brought him a demon-possessed man who was blind and mute, and Jesus healed him, so that he could both talk and see.

Matthew 15:31 The people were amazed when they saw the mute speaking, the crippled made well, the lame walking and the blind seeing. And they praised the God of Israel.

Matthew 20:34 Jesus had compassion on them and touched their eyes. Immediately they received their sight and followed him.

Matthew 21:14 The blind and the lame came to him at the temple, and he healed them.

Mark 8:23-25 He took the blind man by the hand and led him outside the village.
When he had spit on the man’s eyes and put his hands on him, Jesus asked, “Do you see anything?”
He looked up and said, “I see people; they look like trees walking around.” Once more Jesus put his hands on the man’s eyes. Then his eyes were opened, his sight was restored, and he saw everything clearly.

Luke 4:18-19 “The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind, to set the oppressed free, to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor.”

 Matthew 11:5-6 The blind receive sight, the lame walk, those who have leprosy are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and the good news is proclaimed to the poor. Blessed is anyone who does not stumble on account of me.”

Psalm 146:8 the Lord gives sight to the blind, the Lord lifts up those who are bowed down, the Lord loves the righteous.

Isaiah 29:18 In that day the deaf will hear the words of the scroll, and out of gloom and darkness the eyes of the blind will see.
