The Blind Now See

Amazing Grace how sweet the sound that saved a wretch like me.  I once was lost, but now am found - was blind, but now, I see. 

What must the blind man have thought as this man, who he decided must have been a prophet, pressed mud on his eyes and then sent him to wash in the pool of Siloam?  Jesus didn't tell the man that he would be healed.  He merely put mud on his eyes and told him to go wash.  Perhaps the man thought he had nothing to lose, so he went to the pool of Siloam, which means "sent" and he washed.  The man certainly was "sent" to the pool.  But not only that, Jesus was "sent" to the man.  Jesus was sent so that blind eyes would be opened.  Jesus found the man twice - once to heal his physical body, and once to heal him spiritually.  The man was lost and then found, blind and then could see.  That's the same thing Jesus wants for us today.  He finds us as we blindly search with outstretched arms for the things of this world, and then He opens our eyes to see that what we really need is Him.  The man who had been blind came to know that Jesus was the Son of Man and his Lord, and he worshiped Jesus.  What are you blindly grasping for?  Are your eyes open to who Jesus is?  Jesus was not only sent to this man, but He has been sent to you as well.  He is sending you off so that you can wash and receive your sight.  Receive Jesus as your Lord, open your eyes and see!
