Matthew 20:29-31

Matthew 20:29-31 And as they departed from Jericho, a great multitude followed him. And, behold, two blind men sitting by the way side, when they heard that Jesus passed by, cried out, saying, Have mercy on us, O Lord, thou Son of David. And the multitude rebuked them, because they should hold their peace: but they cried the more, saying, Have mercy on us, O Lord, thou Son of David. The two blind beggars wanted to be healed. They knew that Jesus could heal them and Jesus was finally there in their town. They called out to Jesus for help. But they got no respect from the rest of the people. Everyone told the beggars to be quiet. The beggars were disturbing the happy event that was going on in Jericho. But these beggars didn’t care about anything that was going on. They cared only for one thing: they wanted to get to Jesus; they wanted to be healed. And they were determined. So when the people tried to shush them, they just cried out all the louder. “Jesus! Have mercy on us!” they cried. And He did! Jesus heard them; Jesus had pity on them; Jesus came to them; and Jesus healed them of their blindness. And Jesus cares for you too! Just as Jesus helped these two blind beggars, Jesus will help you too! Don’t give up! Don’t quit! Keep calling to Jesus! He will meet your needs!
