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...
