Unrelenting

Matthew 20:31".... But they cried out all the more....."

Jesus was in town!!

  People, great and small, young and old 
were pressing in to hear, learn and see what 
This Man might do.  
Excitement was tangible.

But this day in the life of these 2 blind men was just that...
another day blind ~ Crippled 
and unable to live a "normal" and fulfilled life.  

"Who is in town?" 
 "What are people saying?"  
"What is all the fury about?"

Have you not heard JESUS IS IN TOWN!

The noise of the throng moved closer...the men could taste the dust and feel the ground shake from the many feet.

 They leaned on each other with arms stretched out ~ feeling their way.

What the heck......let's do it!

"LORD HAVE PITY AND MERCY ON US YOU SON OF DAVID!" 

Over and over until they were hoarse they yelled hoping against hope to be heard!

"Shut up you two! This is an important man...get out of the way!"

But.....

YES BUT.

they did not stop....they were desperate for a Touch from the Healer...they were the only two that mattered right then.....and Jesus.....close but yet so far.

"LORD HAVE PITY AND MERCY ON US YOU SON OF DAVID!" 

"LORD HAVE PITY AND MERCY ON US YOU SON OF DAVID!" 

"LORD HAVE PITY AND MERCY ON US YOU SON OF DAVID!" 

Vs 32. And Jesus stopped and called them and asked, "what do you want Me to do for you?"

Wait.  What.  Is HE talking to us??

"LORD WE WANT OUR EYES TO BE OPENED!"

Friends won't you join me in this prayer today?

Will you cry out against all odds and 
against the cautions of society and even the Church?

We need the reality of our desperate condition to drive us to this

LORD PLEASE OPEN OUR EYES!

vs 34  "And Jesus had compassion on them and touched their eyes.  Immediately they could see and began to follow Him"

Let it be Lord
