Jesus goes up to a mountain and sits down. Great crowds come to him and press in around him. Many were pushing and wrestling, wedging their way through the crowd. Inside of these great crowds were the lame, the blind, the crippled, the mute, and many others. Those who had brought these people put them at the feet of Jesus, and they are made well. As a result the crowd wondered. I wonder what it is they wondered about. What caused them to wonder? They began to wonder when they saw the mute speaking, the crippled healthy, the lame walking, and the blind seeing, and they glorified God.
The mute began to talk.
The crippled and the lame were made healthy and were walking.
The blind began to see.
What would the mute say once they found the ability to speak?
What would the crippled and lame do once they found the ability to walk and run?
What would the blind want to look at when they realized they could see?
Do I realize the gifts I have? Do I still wonder? Am I still amazed that I have the ability to speak words, to walk and run, or to see? Or have I forgotten? Am I not impressed anymore?
The answer is determined by what I say…where I walk…and what I take the time to look at.
