Gospel
Mark 8:22-26
The blind man was cured and could see everything distinctly
Jesus and his disciples came to Bethsaida, and some people brought to him a blind man whom they begged him to touch. He took the blind man by the hand and led him outside the village. Then putting spittle on his eyes and laying his hands on him, he asked, ‘Can you see anything?’ The man, who was beginning to see, replied, ‘I can see people; they look like trees to me, but they are walking about.’ Then he laid his hands on the man’s eyes again and he saw clearly; he was cured, and he could see everything plainly and distinctly. And Jesus sent him home, saying, ‘Do not even go into the village.’
Reflection
Why did Christ cure the blind man and yet told him don't go to the village. Christ cured the man because of love and compassion. If the man goes to the village more will come for healing and yet Christ main priority is to do the will of the Father. The will of the Father is to bring mankind back to God is through repentance and following Christ. Why do we follow Christ?
Let us pray
Lord Jesus you came into the world to save us from sin. Use us oh Lord in your mission.
Amen
