JESUS ASKED THE QUESTION

Luk 18:41 "What do you want Me to do for you?" And he said, "Lord, I want to regain my sight!"

Psa 119:18 Open my eyes, that I may behold Wonderful things from Your law.

John, while in prison, sent a message to Jesus asking Him if He were the true Messiah, or, were they to expect someone else? [Mat 11:3]

Jesus responded with these words found in Matthew 11:5; "the BLIND RECEIVE SIGHT and the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed and the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the POOR HAVE THE GOSPEL PREACHED TO THEM.

Before our belief in Jesus, in His sacrifice on the cross, and receiving His salvation, we were all blind, deaf, and terminally diseased, carrying with us a sentence of eternal death. When we confessed with our mouth that Jesus was LORD, and we believed deeply in our hearts that the Mighty hand of GOD raised Him from the dead, We were healed to eternal life and cleansed from our wretched sin. [Rom 10-9]

Luk 24:45 Then He opened their minds to understand the Scriptures.

Joh 14:26 "But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all that I said to you.

It is this Helper, the Holy Spirit who then dwells inside you, comforts you from within, teaching, guiding, and opening wide your very soul and mind to the beauty and majesty of Gods Word. Suddenly, you begin to understand. To grasp that which was previously foreign to you ears and eyes. The Holy Spirit is your full time Counselor, Confidant and friend.

Jas 1:17 Every good thing given and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shifting shadow.

Paul sums it up nicely in his Epistle to the Ephesians;

Eph 1:17-19 that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you a spirit of wisdom and of revelation in the knowledge of Him. (18) I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened, so that you will know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints, (19) and what is the surpassing greatness of His power toward us who believe. These are in accordance with the working of the strength of His might.

You have eyes to see and ears to hear, and this begs the question...
