Lord, Son of David, have mercy on us!

 Matthew 20:29-34

Two blind men were sitting by the roadside, and when they heard that Jesus was going by, they shouted, “Lord, Son of David, have mercy on us!” The crowd rebuked them and told them to be quiet, but they shouted all the louder, “Lord, Son of David, have mercy on us!” Jesus stopped and called them. “What do you want me to do for you?” he asked. “Lord,” they answered, “we want our sight.” Jesus had compassion on them and touched their eyes. Immediately they received their sight and followed him.

Mark and Luke mention only one blind man - perhaps because Peter, who probably supplied the information, knew Bartimaeus personally.

Why:

These two blind men trust in Jesus and do not care about the crowd's criticism. They cried to Jesus Christ to help them. And Jesus has mercy to them and gave them sight.

Cry to Jesus means has faith in Jesus.

Walking on the way of Jesus Christ sometimes is hard and lonely, but be encouraged for God is with us.

重要性是因為之後，耶穌就進入耶路撒冷，受難前一週。這是最後一件事是瞎眼得看見，為何不是瘸腿能行走?

前面耶穌一直在教門徒做僕人。此時兩個瞎子在呼喊。眾人叫他們不要吵，門徒也沒有發聲，也就是門徒也在眾人中。其他人認為彌賽亞高高在上，卻不留意這些弱者。門徒聽了卻沒有懂。耶穌問他們：要我為你們做什麼?耶穌表達關心的對話，不是完成事工就好了。不是冰冷的醫治，而是願意關心和他們對話，這才是前面所教導的，不是為了做最大才去服事弱者，這是目的不對。而是真心關心人的心。門徒以外的人稱耶穌為大衛的子孫，第一個是迦南婦人，第二個是這兩個瞎子。他們不管別人怎麼厭棄他們，無論什麼樣的攔阻，他們都要呼喊這是信心，他們知道唯有耶穌能夠救他們。我們常常給自己設攔阻，找理由不去找神。

How?

Can we have faith like these two blind men, even the situation was bad and alone?
