LORD HAVE MERCY!

Finally, it takes two blind men to show how it’s done and who Jesus really is (Matt 20)...guys that have missed seeing all those miracles!

Jesus has left Galilee behind as He heads deliberately to Jerusalem.                      

Why?...  “to be killed and be raised again the third day”     

Who by?...  Jews and Gentiles! 

Three times Jesus has warned of His death and three times He’s been interrupted while healing so many and blessing children: a legal challenge over divorce, a rich young man tries to win eternal life and the mother of two disciples wants the top spot for her boys.

Finally, near the end of the journey...                    

“Have mercy on us, O Lord, thou Son of David!”        

The blind faith of these poor men is rewarded and they follow Jesus.

What has Jesus Christ come here for?                         

To serve... but let’s not forget that He is also ‘Lord of the vineyard’ and will be gracious to latecomers... 
(yes, even the Gentiles!)                                            

Jew & Gentile – we all desperately need this mercy.
