Jesus Knows Why
When Jesus had finished saying these things, the crowds were amazed at his teaching. Matthew 7:28
I have friends who’ve received partial healing but still struggle with painful aspects of their diseases. Other friends have been healed of an addiction but still struggle with feelings of inadequacy and self-loathing. And I wonder, Why doesn’t God heal them completely—once and for all?
In Mark 8:22–26, we read the story of Jesus healing a man born blind. Jesus first took the man away from the village. Then He spit on the man’s eyes and “put his hands on him.” The man said he now saw people who looked “like trees walking around.” Then Jesus touched the man’s eyes again, and this time he saw “everything clearly.”
In His ministry, Jesus’s words and actions often amazed and baffled the crowd and His followers (Matthew 7:28; Luke 8:10; 11:14) and even drove many of them away (John 6:60–66). No doubt this two-part miracle also caused confusion. Why not immediately heal this man?
We don’t know why. But Jesus knew what the man—and the disciples who viewed his healing—needed in that moment. And He knows what we need today to draw us closer in our relationship with Him. Though we won’t always understand, we can trust that God is working in our lives and the lives of our loved ones. And He will give us the strength, courage, and clarity we need to persevere in following Him.
Dear Lord, thank You for knowing us so well and for providing what we need most. Give us eyes to see You and a heart to understand Your Word.
Open our eyes, Lord, we want to see Jesus. Robert Cull
耶稣知道
耶稣讲完了这些话，众人都希奇祂的教训。-马太福音7章28节
我有些朋友患病经过治疗之后，并未完全得到康复，仍因一些并发症而饱受痛苦。有些朋友虽然已经戒除成瘾，但心灵仍饱受煎熬，失去自信和厌恶自己。我很纳闷，为什么上帝不完全医好他们，一劳永逸地让他们痊愈呢？
在马可福音8章22-26节，记载了耶稣治愈一个天生瞎眼的人。耶稣先领他到村外，吐唾沫在他眼睛上，并“按手在他身上”。随后，这人说他看见人“好像树木，并且行走”。于是，耶稣再次按手在他眼睛上，他就“样样都看得清楚了”。
耶稣在世上传道时，祂的所言所行常使众人和跟随祂的人感到希奇困惑（马太福音7章28节；路加福音8章10节，11章14节） ，甚至令许多人退却离开（约翰福音6章60-66节） 。相信这个分两阶段完成的神迹，也会让人感到困惑。耶稣为什么不立即完全治愈这个人呢？
我们不知道为什么。但耶稣知道这个人和看祂施行医治的门徒，在那个时刻需要什么。祂也知道我们今天需要什么，才会与祂更亲近。虽然有时我们并不明白，但我们仍能相信上帝正在我们和我们至亲好友的生命中动工。祂会给我们所需的力量、勇气和明了的智慧，使你我能坚定地跟随祂。
主啊，谢谢祢如此了解我们，将最需要的赐给我们。
求祢开启我们的双眼，让我们能看见祢。
也求祢打开我们的心，让我们能明白祢的话语。
开我的眼，主，我渴望见祢
