Rachel Workman: 40 When Jesus heard him, he stopped and ordered that the man be brought to him. As the man came near, Jesus asked him, 41 “What do you want me to do for you?”
“Lord,” he said, “I want to see!”
42 And Jesus said, “All right, receive
your sight! Your faith has healed you.” 43 Instantly the man
could see, and he followed Jesus, praising God. And all who saw it praised God,
too.
His faith in who Christ was and what Christ is
capable of is what restored his site. And I would do well to remember that the
same thing is going to save me.

John Burnett: 40 And Jesus stopped and
commanded that he be brought to Him; and when he came near, He questioned
him, 41 “What do you want Me to do for
you?” And he said, “Lord, I want to regain my sight!” 42 And
Jesus said to him, “[a]Receive your sight; your faith
has [b]made you well.”43 Immediately
he regained his sight and began following Him, glorifying
God; and when all the people saw it, they gave praise to God. This is foreshadowing the
future for those who put their trust in Jesus Christ. One of the promises
that comes with eternal life is a new body that can no longer get sick, ache,
or have any type of handicapping condition. Our faith has made us well
just like the blind man’s faith made him well. We were all blind but not
those of us who know Christ now see.

Tomorrow’s reading for Luke 19:1-4
19 Jesus entered Jericho and made his way
through the town. 2 There was a man there named Zacchaeus. He
was the chief tax collector in the region, and he had become very rich. 3 He
tried to get a look at Jesus, but he was too short to see over the crowd. 4 So
he ran ahead and climbed a sycamore-fig tree beside the road, for Jesus was
going to pass that way.
