What Can He Do For Us?

"And Jesus stood still, and called them, and said, What will ye that I shall do unto you?"  Matthew 20:32.  Two blind men have called out to Jesus.  In answer to His question, these two men want Jesus to give them their sight?  What do we want Jesus to do for us?  Jesus had the power to open their eyes, and He did.  Jesus has the power to do for us what we need.  Some want Jesus to improve their situation in life.  They want from Him only physical blessings.  Some want freedom from illness and soundness of body.  Some want from Jesus the deliverance from distress or calamity.  These two men followed Jesus after He opened their eyes.  Do we want to follow Him or do we only want that which Jesus can do for us on a physical and emotional basis?  Our greatest need is spiritual.  Jesus can give us spiritual blessings.  He can take away our sin and our guilt.  He can restore us to the fellowship of God.  He can give to us a peace that passes our understanding.  He can give to us a hope that transcends all hopes.  He can give to us purpose of life and meaning in death.  What will we have Jesus do for us?
