SPRING FORTH NOW 2025

As Jesus and his followers arrived at Jericho, a blind beggar was sitting by the roadside.  When he heard the crowd approaching, he asked, “What’s all this commotion about?”  “It’s Jesus!” they said. “Jesus the Nazarene is passing by.”  The blind beggar shouted, “Jesus, Son of David, have pity and show me mercy!”  Those in the front of the crowd scolded him and warned him to be quiet, but the blind beggar screamed out even louder, “Jesus, Son of David, show me mercy!”  Suddenly Jesus stopped and directed those nearby, “Bring the man over to me.” When they brought him before Jesus, he asked the man, “What do you want me to do for you?”  “Master,” he said, “please, I want to see.”  Jesus said, “Now you will see. Receive your sight this moment, for your faith in me has given you sight and new life.”  Instantly he could see again. His eyes popped open, and he saw Jesus standing in front of him! He shouted loud praises to God and he followed Jesus. And when the crowd saw what happened, they too erupted with shouts of praise to God.

Luke 18:35-43 (TPT)

On the road near Jericho, a blind beggar refuses to be silenced and cries out for mercy until Jesus stops. When the Lord asks, “What do you want me to do for you?” he answers with holy honesty: “Lord, I Want To See.” That confession becomes Hidden Manna—clarity about the real need, courage to ask specifically, and a faith that presses through the noise. Jesus restores his sight, and the man immediately follows, praising God; vision becomes vocation, and healing becomes testimony. True sight is more than opened eyes; it’s recognizing where Christ stands in your present road and where He invites you to step next. Make this your prayer today over one knot in your life: “Jesus, I want to see.” Then watch for the quiet mercy, the simple instruction, and the next faithful step that nourishes your soul.
