Musick-al note # 118
One of the most precious gifts God has given to mankind is the ability to see. Considering all it gives, no one wants to be unable to see so it is understandable that the blind man on the road to Jericho asked Jesus for sight (Luke 18:41). There is no way to mention all that sight gives to men. There are homes, faces of loved ones, vistas of mountains, prairies, oceans, skies, stars, clouds, seas, lakes, rivers, storms, rain, snow, and sunshine, mornings, evenings and nights. Countless things can be added by everyone for there is no end to all that sight brings to mankind. Yet all these things are only a reflection of the nature of God who created us to enjoy all these things. He who made us in His own image, gave man sight because He has sight. Who can even imagine the things God sees for He is Omnipotent, Omnipresent, Omniscient and the creator of all things.
Oh that men could only see as God sees, to know the spiritual and eternal realm, and to know the potential that lie within every person. The Apostle John wrote that Jesus did many things that are not written but that the things that are written are given so that every person might believe to the saving of their soul (John 20:31). On this journey through life, we should be like the blind man on the road to Jericho, cry out, “Lord, I want to see”. Yes, our spiritual eyes can be opened to God’s truths as surely as the blind man; eyes were opened that day. Studying the Word with an open heart and acknowledging truth and following its teaching by obedience will open one’s eyes to the blessings available to every man. Yes, we must believe and trust God to know that God will save eternally those who obey Christ Jesus. One must learn that Jesus died on the Cross at Calvary to ransom everyone from the debt of sin (1 Timothy 2:6, Hebrews 2:9, Romans 6:23, Ezekiel 18:4). Jesus rose from death and is now on God’s right hand, offering salvation to all who obey Him (Hebrews 5:8-9). Yes, I want everyone to see!
