Jesus Christ had come to the city of Jericho and found a blind man sitting by the roadside. Hearing the noise of the crowd, he began to shout, "Jesus, thou son of David, have mercy on me." The apostles and other people tried to shut him up. Yet he went on, demanding his healing.
Finally, as it is written in Mark, chapter 10, verses 46-52, Jesus called him and asked what he wanted: "Master, let me see," he replied. Then the Lord affirmed that his faith healed him. How many times do we go through great tribulation and forget the promises of God in our lives?
It is blowing a weak wind for the dreams to be destroyed. We set aside what Jesus had promised and we fell into despair. The role of darkness is to take away our vision, to prevent us from continuing to see the light of Jesus Christ. In the dark you can not see a thing. The ideal place to suffer accidents and get seriously injured.
The important detail in this passage narrated in the book of Mark is that Jesus answered the blind man that his faith had healed him. Simple. At no point did he doubt that the master would not give him sight. He faced the crowd, maybe he was pushed, and even trampled, but he did not give up. He continued to cry out for the Lord.
Sometimes we give up easy dreams. A pebble can weaken our spirit. We throw everything up and we confess defeat, putting in mind that we are the worst people in the world. It is precisely in these moments that we must act just like this blind man mentioned above. Continue to cry out for Jesus Christ. He will hear our voice and come to our rescue.
