Are people coming through your doors seeing, yet blind? Here's the story about one.
Swaggering.
Swaying.
Tentative.
The blind man approached Jesus.
They exchanged a few words. And then Jesus spit on the hard clay ground.
There's not a spiritual, holy way to do this. Nor is there Christ-like spitting position. Like every other man who has ever lived, he swallowed hard, and pushed up the milky phlegm and -- did it.
It was disgusting to the bystanders. It was pedestrian. Certainly it could viewed with contempt by the ruling class. And the religious leaders must have been horrified. Some King of Kings!
Jesus then bent down and pinched the now muddy soil and smeared it on the man?s cloudy eyes.
Do you want vision? Do you want to see things differently?
Often the restoration of spiritual sight can be downright ugly. It may be tough and uncomfortable and dirty. But clearing the years of ?human vision? off our sight requires scraping. Dirt requires scrubbing.
