First reading Isaiah 29:17-24
Psalms 27
Gospel Matthiew 9:27-31
The two blind men who followed Jesus only got healed when they entered the house.
We too during this advent season are called not to give up but to persevere on the way of Christ until we arrive the place he has prepared for us. It is there that he will grant us all that we hoped for and all that we believe. Whatever we believe and hope for and are sure he can do he will do it for us.
It's a message of perseverance and of patience. They called upon him on the road and begged him to heal them but he didn't and kept going on. Many of us on this journey of faith have been praying and begging God for one thing or the other but the solution has not reached us. Some because of the situation have derailed and gone off tract. Many have stopped following Christ because he hasn't answered them.
But today God is asking us to keep walking until we enter the house of God where he will listen to us and grant us all that we have hoped, believed and prayed for.
The psalmist encourages us who persevere not to be afraid because we shall see the Lord's goodness in the land of the living. Many have often asked this question in their pain: when will God answer me? is it when am death? Today's psalm says no we shall see his goodness in the land of the living but we have to be strong and wait for the Lord Jesus and be strong. And those who do that shall not die but we shall live to declare the goodness he will show us. The kind of blessings described in the first reading where he shall not only bless us but shall take away our shame and destroy the cause of it taking away the wickedness around us and granting us long life. This is the kind of blessing the Lord is coming with and he will bless all who wait above expectations and will show them his goodness as he did to the two blind men.
A kind of goodness that nothing will be able to stop us from proclaiming it. The blimdmen contrary to the warning of Christ couldn't keep their mouths shut but went around saying what marvels the Lord has done for them.
May God give us the grace to keep following him everyday as we journey towards the place of his dwelling where he shall bless us and meet all our expectations.
Come Lord Jesus Christ
