The blind men in Matthew 9
were among many who called for mercy from
Jesus. And countless people received mercy
from Him. There were prostitutes - women
who had taken their God-designed bodies,
God's temples, and used them shamefully.
Jesus forgave them. There were lepers -
outcasts suffering from a disease that left
them unclean in every possible way. Jesus
healed them. There were tax collectors -
greedy turncoats getting rich off their
neighbors. Jesus dined with them and called
them as His disciples. There were friends
who denied Him, pretending they had never
met Him. Jesus gave them second chances.
Jesus is full of mercy.
