Hope, Justice, And Living Life To The FullSample
Reflect:
Jesus could have restored this man’s sight in a moment, but instead he chose to do it in two stages. This story demonstrates that Christ is sovereign, and however insignificant the means may appear in and of themselves, they are divinely successful when he chooses to work by them. The passage also shows that, however small the first manifestations of mercy may be, they are still the blessings of the gospel of peace.
Pray:
Lord, open my eyes! Restore my sight so that I can see everything clearly from your divine perspective. I long to experience and demonstrate the fullness of the gospel of peace. Please do your work in me. Amen.
