“Jesus said to him in reply, “What do you want me to do for you?” The blind man replied to him, “Master, I want to see.” Jesus told him, “Go your way; your faith has saved you.” Immediately he received his sight and followed him on the way.” (Mark 10:51-52)
The major theme for this 30th Sunday in the Ordinary Time focuses on the overflowing mercy and kindness of a loving, healing and forgiving God for all His children. The Bible tells us that God so love the world and all His creation that He wants all people to be healed and saved. God hears constantly the cry of the poor, His people, and wants to restore the whole humanity back to the original grace. In God’s divine providence and economy of salvation, He sent His only begotten Son, our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, to assist us in all our needs, offering us the way to our salvation, recuperation of our intimate relationship and access to the grace, healing and assistance of God our heavenly Father.
No matter our blindness is physical or spiritual, God intends to heal our blindness, very often due to sins through the assistance of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ who is the only Way, the Truth and the Life, that nobody can go to the Father except through Jesus Christ. Only in God we can find true vision, joy, peace, healing and salvation.
God does not want us holding a relationship of Transaction but Transformation. Therefore, Dynamic Christian disciples are those who (1) BELIEVE, (2) GROW, (3) SERVE, (4) LOVE and (5) LEAD others to Jesus. Today’s topics focus on the merciful healing and salvation of God who wants to heal our blindness to recognize Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior and to follow Him.
How can we help each other, not remaining in spiritual blindness, but with spiritual eyesight of faith to see Jesus Christ in our neighbors, recognizing God’s mercy and glory in our lives?
Wishing everyone a blessed week in the Lord.
