Opened Eyes
Acts 26:18
To open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in me. (KJV)
The blind man, Bartimaeus, threw off his cloak and ran trembling to Jesus. And Jesus said, "What do you want me to do for you?" He said, "Lord, that I may receive my sight." In that moment as he said, "Lord," his spiritual eyes were opened. And Jesus said, "Your faith has made you whole." Notice - not your intellectual understanding, not your money, not your works - but your faith. Faith! Thats all it takes! Immediately Bartimaeus, who had been blind all his life, began to open his eyes, and the first thing he saw was the face of Jesus. What a experience - to open one's eyes and look straight into the strong, tender face of Jesus! Bartimaeus met Jesus and the record says he "followed Jesus in the way." You don't go back to your business, or your home, or your neighborhood, or your friends, or your school, alone. Christ goes with YOU.
Isaiah 35:4-5
Say to them that are of a fearful heart, Be strong, fear not: behold, your God will come with vengeance, even God with a recompence; he will come and save you.
Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened, and the ears of the deaf shall be unstopped. (KJV
