“Moved with compassion, Jesus touched their eyes; and immediately they regained their sight and followed Him.” Matthew 20:34 NASB
The story is told in the gospel of Matthew of two blind men sitting along the road crying out to Jesus as He was passing by, “Lord, Son of David, have mercy on us!” (Mt. 20:31) Jesus stopped and asked what they wanted Him to do for them; their response “Lord, we want our eyes to be opened.”
These men had a physical need to see. Jesus, ‘Moved with compassion,’ touched their eyes and immediately were able to see.
What about spiritual blindness? For those outside of Christ there is a spiritual need to see, to see the light as the saying goes, and to see our need for a Savior. Jesus has the same compassion today. If we doubt His compassion all we need to do is to look at the cross. When we acknowledge our need for salvation and call out to Him, Jesus will be ‘Moved with compassion’ and open our eyes and touch our hearts.
