SIGNS OF THE MESSIAH

Pause. You are in God’s presence.

Reading. “Do you believe?” “We do.” And their sight returned. (Matt 9:27-31)

Reflection. In this first week of Advent we have signs of the arrival of the Messiah, the Christ, the one who was to come to. One was the opening of the eyes of two blind men. On the physical (medical) level it was wonderful to be able to see again. We can imagine what it would mean. But this was just the beginning. What Jesus really wants to show was the fullness of sight; the ability to really see what God was offering to all men and women. To see the trees, the mountains, the football and the videos, was one thing. To see the whole plan of God for his people and ultimately to see God himself was quite another.

  

Prayer. Lord, that I may see! That I may be able to see beyond the things my eyes present to me; to see the realm you are opening up. Amen.
