Jesus said to a blind man in Jericho, "What do you want me to do?"

And he said,"Jesus, Son of David, have pity(동정, 연민) on me! I want to see."

Jesus said,"Receive your sight. Your faith has healed you."

At the very moment he was given his sight and began to follow him, giving God the glory.

The restoration(회복,복구, 원래의 상태로 돌아감) of a man’s sight stands for the gift of spiritual sight that we call faith. Luke could look at physical healing to see within it a universal spiritual truth.

Within the individual events of our lives are embedded(마음속에 깊이 간직하다) universal principles, truths and axioms(자명한 이치). We drop a book. It is an instance of the law of gravity(진지함, 엄숙함). We need spiritual sight to see beyond the conflicts(투쟁, 갈등) that wrack(파멸, 멸망) our life to the larger drama of which we are a part. Like the Church at Ephesus, we can so emphasize the institutional truths and defenses of the Church that we can forget that it is also a community.

These two dimensions need each other. They are not artificially connected.

We can so emphasize law, rights and structure that we fail to notice that the soul of our community is love and Spirit.

I hope you improve your English study and meditation through this gospel.

It is still raining outside, but I would like you to have a great day.

God’s peace and love be with you all the time.

Have a nice day!!!! *^^*
