Blind, but now I see

Morning: Psalm 34; Isaiah 49:1-6; I Corinthians 4:1-16

Evening: Psalm 104; Zechariah 14:12-21; Matthew 20:29-34

Two blind men call out to Jesus, “Let our eyes be opened!”  Three reasons prevent sight – actual blindness, eyes physically closed, or, you just don’t see the obvious right before your eyes. Jesus is concerned with the third kind of vision problem – seeing but not seeing.  He wants us to see things as they really are and not ‘shut our eyes’ to what we find unpalatable or disagreeable. Interestingly, the two men were blind together and then together they could see.  One person’s blindness may reinforce another’s, or, we may help one another see the truth and follow it.
