What Do You Want Jesus To Do For You?
Matthew 20:29-34
29 And as they went out of Jericho, a great crowd followed him. 30 And behold, there were two blind men sitting by the roadside, and when they heard that Jesus was passing by, they cried out, “Lord, have mercy on us, Son of David!” 31 The crowd rebuked them, telling them to be silent, but they cried out all the more, “Lord, have mercy on us, Son of David!” 32 And stopping, Jesus called them and said, “What do you want me to do for you?” 33 They said to him, “Lord, let our eyes be opened.” 34 And Jesus in pity touched their eyes, and immediately they recovered their sight and followed him.
I love the directness of Jesus's question to the two blind men in Jericho:
"'What do you want me to do for you?'" [20:32]
To their credit, they are bold in their request:
“'Lord,' they answered, 'we want our sight.'” [20:33]
And they receive it. Jesus is humble and has time for beggars.
If Jesus asked you that same question today, what would you say?
