GOSPEL READING: LUKE 18:35-43
The news about Jesus has reached far and wide. The news travels before him. Jesus is making his journey towards Jerusalem and he has not travelled before in these areas. But the news about him has reached. Even the blind people have heard about his healing ministry. The news about him reach the poor and the sick.
The blind man knew the identity of Jesus (son of David) and calls out to him for mercy. Those who travel with Jesus (a crowd) always intimidate the needy to approach Jesus. But Jesus eyes and ears are always open to the needy. He is very clear about his target group for whom he has come. What Jesus expects from the people is faith in God.
இயேசுவின் பெயரும் புகழும் அவருக்கு முன்னே சென்று கொண்டிருக்கிறது. அவரைப்பற்றி குருடரும் கேள்விப்பட்டிருக்கின்றனர். அதேபோல் இயேசுவின் பார்வையும் செவியும் ஏழைகள், நோயாளிகள் பக்கம் திரும்பியுள்ளது. அவர் எதிர்பார்ப்பது நம்பிக்கை (விசுவாசம்) ஒன்றே.
