A minute in God’s Word will change your life. Take a moment to read the texts below and then answer the questions at the bottom of the post.
35 As Jesus approached Jericho, a blind beggar was sitting beside the road. 36 When he heard the noise of a crowd going past, he asked what was happening. 37 They told him that Jesus the Nazarene was going by.38 So he began shouting, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!”
39 “Be quiet!” the people in front yelled at him.
But he only shouted louder, “Son of David, have mercy on me!”
40 When Jesus heard him, he stopped and ordered that the man be brought to him. As the man came near, Jesus asked him, 41 “What do you want me to do for you?”
“Lord,” he said, “I want to see!”
42 And Jesus said, “All right, receive your sight! Your faith has healed you.” 43 Instantly the man could see, and he followed Jesus, praising God. And all who saw it praised God, too. Luke 18:35-42 (NLT)
When the blind beggar heard Jesus was coming what did he do? Why?
Why were the people trying to quiet him?
As Jesus was walking in the middle of the crowd, what did he hear?
What did he do when he heard him?
What did he ask him?
Why didn’t Jesus just heal him from across the road?
If Jesus were to ask you “What do you want me to do for you?” what would be your answer?
