“One thing I do know, I was blind but now I see” John 9:25In this Gospel passage the religious leaders ask Jesus, “who sinned, this man or his parents causing him to be born blind?” To the religious elite, the man doesn’t seem important except to make a philosophical/theological point. Jesus in contrast had compassion on the man and healed his blindness. Organizations, governments even churches too often become insulated from the needs of the individual and get caught up in the agenda rather than the person. This mentality holds the hurting at a distance, far enough to keep us from getting our hands dirty. Jesus, He who created the universe has the ability to see the big picture, but is still willing to use His own hands to bring hope, help and healing. “Lord, give us your hands to heal this hurting world, today!”
