Our paragraph topic is: (Two blind men) Part 4.
Jesus touches the eyes of the two blind men and immediately they gain their sight. They have persevered for success. They were persistent for their reward. They believed for the transformation. Christ healed them. Jesus then gives them strict instructions saying, "See that no one knows of this!" Christ gave them sight and he gave them instructions. The instructions were to see. He had just given sight to two blind men who badly wanted to see. He had caused their eyes to be opened that they may experience the world as others. He had given them joy that they could now walk upright without the assistance of others. He had given them sight so that now they did not have to depend upon the words of others but could see and believe for themselves. And he told them to SEE!
He told them to SEE that no one knows of this. And so they left with those instructions to see that no one knows. But they did not see no one. They did not know no one. So they did not heed his instructions and told no one. And no one told someone. And someone told someone else. And someone else told another someone. And another someone told another, and another, and another and before it was all over they had become celebrities. They had become like anchormen in the field telling the story of how Christ gave them sight. They told their story of how they heard about him. They gave detailed information on how they got to meet Christ. They talked about the journey that they had to make with him before he saw them. They also repeated phrase for phrase the words that he said to them to make the drama more exciting and the capture the attention of the public that listened to their story. They spread the fame of Christ throughout all the district, contrary to what he had instructed them to do. And no one made them someone. And no one made sure that all knew of this Christ. They were blind and Christ told them to see that no one knows of this.
No one wants to be someone. No one wants to have fame. No one wants to be popular. No one wants to have success. No one wants people to know him. No one wants people to like him and to he wants to be in the spot light. And Christ told them to see. Yet they were blind and did not see. For no one took their hand and led them. No one led them down the wide path of destruction. They did not have to follow. They did not have to see. They could have not seen no one and kept the miracle to themselves. They could have not spoken to no one and not spread the news. They could have not told someone and been wise as Christ had instructed them. But no one compelled them to act. No one opened the door for them to speak. No one brought them forth before the people and moved them to tell someone. And they were blind and could not see.
It seems insane to not want to be known, to not want fame and fortune. Today in our society no one want to be unknown. No one wants to be not liked. No one wants to be loved by many. No one wants to not be popular. No one wants to not have money. No one wants to not have fame and fortune. And no one will not do anything to get it. So in our societal structure no one will tell lies to get to the top. No one will deceive to get to the top. No one will steal to get where they want to go. No one will kill to get money. No one will destroy to get what it wants. No one will manipulate. No one will lust and use sexual gratitude to seduce what it wants. No one will forsake values and morals to get to the top. NO ONE will do anything to succeed in this societal structure. And Christ told the two blind men to SEE that NO ONE knows. All they had to do was to not tell no one. If Christ gave you a miracle today would you tell no one?
