27 As Jesus went on from there, two blind men followed him, calling out, "Have mercy on us, Son of David!"
28 When he had gone indoors, the blind men came to him, and he asked them, "Do you believe that I am able to do this?"
"Yes, Lord," they replied.
29 Then he touched their eyes and said, "According to your faith let it be done to you"; 30 and their sight was restored. Jesus warned them sternly, "See that no one knows about this." 31 But they went out and spread the news about him all over that region.
Matthew 9:27-31
Don’t you know today that drawing to near to Christ as we are doing now corporately as a church in this season of lent takes action on all of our parts? These two blind men wanted desperately to be healed and so they did something about it! They first followed Jesus by finding out where he was, not a particularly easy task for a blind man, huh? Next, they cried out to Him for mercy, they asked Him for healing and finally but most importantly they believed that He was who He said that He was and that He could truly heal them in order that they could see. This experience with God; this touch of our Savior was such an incredible experience for them that even after a stern warning not to tell anyone, these two men witnessed about how the Son of God had healed their blindness all over that region! Are you taking action today in your pursuit of drawing near to God in this season of lent? What is your plan for finding Jesus? Have you cried out to him with your whole heart with your worries and fears and praise in an effort to ask him for healing? Most importantly, do you believe, without a doubt that the power of His Spirit that lives inside of your heart of hearts, if you truly have accepted Him, has the power to heal the brokenness of your life and set you free to live out His love in a very real way today? Seek Jesus today with your whole heart – step out of your comfort zone believing that He will meet you right where you are and you too will experience a touch from our Savior who loves you more than you could ever imagine and who will never let you go!
