“Moved with compassion, Jesus touched their eyes; and immediately they regained their sight and followed Him.”
The last three words in this passage are important… What
did you do when Jesus opened your eyes?
When Jesus touches your life there is no doubt that you will
regain your sight … the question is what will you do with your newfound vision?
We are all either moths or cockroaches – the determination
is made by which way we go when the lights come on. Did you run to, or from the light?
In our heart of hearts, we all know we need a savior… We
are aware that God is holy, and we are not - so we need deliverance. But the rub occurs when we realize that we not
only need a Savior - but a Lord as well. We have no problem being delivered –
but we balk at following. We want God to
be on our team…but he requires that we join His.
These men were blind and called out for Jesus to help
them. When Christ compassionately gave
them sight it changed their lives…it impacted who they were and where they were
going. It altered their purpose and trajectory… What about yours?
Which way did you run when the lights came on? Did you run toward Christ or toward your own cravings? Did you dig into your bible and begin
learning God’s Word? Or did you use the
sight He gave you to hide from Him?
If you are reading this – it is not too late. If you ran the wrong way, like a great
running back you can still “put your foot in the ground” and change directions.
God restored your sight to allow you to see His Holiness and realize your need
for deliverance and direction. Accept
the gift of the Holy Spirit and obey His directives and you can begin living
life as you were designed to live.
Run toward the light. Stop hiding in the cracks and
crevasses of this dark world and be like a moth that flies toward the glow of
His love.
With clear vision, comes clear responsibility. Use your vision to follow Him.
“The Bible recognizes no faith that does not
lead to obedience, nor does it recognize any obedience that does not spring
from faith. The two are opposite sides of the same coin.” - A. W. Tozer
