About-Him.Com Devotional 04-17-2004
 
The man in our segment below was blind.  His friends brought him to Jesus and asked the Master to touch him.  They had probably seen Jesus heal others.  They could not recall Jesus ever turning away from a person in need. They remembered their blind friend.  If Jesus could heal others, He could heal him.
 
Do you have friends who need Jesus? Have you been healed or seen others healed by His touch? Tell  your friends about Jesus.
  
Has Jesus delivered you from addictions? Share the good news of Jesus with your friends.
  
Are you rejoicing in the God of your salvation? Good! Tell your friends the good news and bring them to Jesus.
  
Do you need His touch yourself? The throne room is open and you can go in boldly and tell Him just what you need. In fact, He's eager to hear from you.
  
 
The Life of Christ From His Baptism to His Ascension:
  
134: A Blind Man healed at Bethsaida: Mk. 8:22-26
 
22 ¶ And he cometh to Bethsaida; and they bring a blind man unto him, and besought him to touch him.
23 And he took the blind man by the hand, and led him out of the town; and when he had spit on his eyes, and put his hands upon him, he asked him if he saw ought.
24 And he looked up, and said, I see men as trees, walking.
25 After that he put his hands again upon his eyes, and made him look up: and he was restored, and saw every man clearly.
26 And he sent him away to his house, saying, Neither go into the town, nor tell it to any in the town.
 
When they came to Bethsaida, somebody brought a blind man to Jesus and asked for His touch. It was not in Jesus’ best interest to make a big stir. It would be safer if He simply refuse the request and move on.
 
He took the man by the hand and led him out of the town. Here, he spit on the man’s eyes and asked what he saw. The man could only see vague outlines of men. Jesus touched him again and the man could see clearly.
 
Jesus sent the man home with emphatic instructions to not tell anyone of the miracle he had received that day.
 
Conclusion and Application
 
Jesus was incapable of turning anyone aside and refusing to hear their cry for help. He hasn’t changed a bit (John 6:37; Hebrews 4:16). If you need His touch, just ask. He is just as close as the mention of His name.
 
The man wasn’t completely healed with the first touch. If we don’t get all that we ask for at first, ask again (Luke 18:1-8)!

Humor
Two  hunters were driving through the country to go bear hunting. They came upon a fork in the road where a sign read"BEAR LEFT" so they went home.
  
Two friends rented a boat and fished in a lake every day. One day they caught 30 fish. One guy said to his friend, "Mark this spot so that we can come back here again tomorrow."
  
The next day, when they were driving to rent the boat, the same guy asked his friend, "Did you mark that spot?" His friend replied, "Yeah, I put a big 'X' on the bottom of the boat."
  
The first one said, "You stupid idiot! What if we don't get that same boat today?"
 Keep Looking Up!
